OPS Bans Shock Gloves for SROs Amid Parental Pushback

Omaha Public Schools has asked Mayor John Ewing and the Omaha Police Department to bar school resource officers from carrying shock gloves on school property, calling the devices counterproductive to safety and relationships with students. The OPD will honor the request and discontinue use in schools but will maintain other equipment. Mayor Ewing supported opting out, noting it was the least impactful option among tools. The move followed protests by parents and students at a board meeting and comes as some metro districts had been using shock gloves, though others say they have not deployed them yet.

"Controversy Surrounding Student Restraint Law Sparks Debate and Sheriff's Response"

The Solutions Not Suspension Coalition, a group supporting a new law in Minnesota that limits the use of restraints by school resource officers (SROs), defended the law's focus on de-escalation techniques and the prohibition of certain restraints and holds. While some law enforcement agencies have withdrawn SROs due to concerns about the law's lack of clarity, others have chosen to remain in schools. Republicans have called for a special session to address the law, but proponents argue that the law already includes exceptions for dangerous situations and that the special session would undermine efforts to prioritize student safety.
