Anyone working as an "armed school police officer"?

[cdi]

I have been offered employment as an "Armed school police officer" by a private security company.
Before a month ago, I had not heard of such a position. It appears that it is somewhat more than an armed security position.
Act 235 is required, as well as being either an active or retired police officer.

If you have any insight into this position in Pa. I would like to hear what you have to say.
It sounds like a worthwhile opportunity and the pay scale if higher than any of the other armed positions I've seen in the last 6 or 8 months.

Thanks-
- CDI

That's exactly who I would want my training through. Very little risk required

They teach you how to go home at night, and still collect your pension.

Yeah, no.
Before I retired, it was common practice to hide the duds in the detective bureau, school resource office, traffic, Etc.
The company that extended the offer seemed to like resume- I wasn't a dud.
They seem to want someone who will aggressively seek out the threat and eliminate it.

That sounds like the one, only difference is my offer is in Bucks county.
Excuse the double post- something is up with the website running very slowly.

I'm working as an Armed School Police Officer for the Broward County Sheriff's. I didn't think they would let me work 100% remotely from PA, but that turned out to not be a problem at all. This is the sweetest gig I ever had!!

You're going to go after the School Board?
