5/19/2011 5:00:00 AMCleveland: City plans to pull police out of schools

May 19, 2011


CLEVELAND --  The Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association says the city plans to remove about 20 Cleveland police officers from school buildings as of June 1. This is more fallout from the announced city layoffs and the planned layoff of Cleveland police officers.

"All will be taken out of the schools. We have two in each high school now," says CPPA President Steve Loomis.

The city will not comment on any redeployment plans or confirm that the officers will be removed. But several Cleveland school district sources confirmed that the officers will be removed.

"With layoffs of teachers, we will have less adult supervision. We need the police officers," say Kurt Richards, of the Cleveland Teachers' Union.

Students at East Tech High School also told us they are concerned for their safety without the police officers. School security officers will remain in the buildings and some have arresting powers.
