The School Resource Officers are part of an experiment to address crime and earn student trust, the heads of the public and Catholic boards said yesterday.And, of course, there's absolutely no correlation between this police deployment and areas known for gun-toting thugs...
The program promotes prevention and those that will have police are not necessarily known as high-risk schools, he said.I can't wait to hear how many coppers they're deploying at Upper Canada College.
Only in Canada.

-- TORONTO -- Four teenagers are in hospital with minor injuries after a shooting outside a house party at an apartment building in the city’s west end. Police were called to a home on Jane St near Lawrence Ave W. just before 10 p.m. Friday night, said Staff Sgt Bob Skinner.*
The victims, ranging from 15 to 19 years old, all sustained non-life threatening shotgun wounds to the legs. They were found at the back of an apartment building and transported to local hospitals for treatment.
“The victims themselves and the crowd are being un-cooperative and as such there are no leads,” Skinner said. Skinner added that the victims are known to police.
