Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I kind of feel like the point is for the SRO's to be ticketing and arresting the little shitheads that are committing crimes. Now, if they are not committing offences then that's a good thing. It is possibly that SRO's are a deterrent from them acting out.

From the post: "Tickets and arrests of students at 13 Denver Public Schools campuses were lower when police officers were not stationed inside the school buildings than when they were, according to state and local data from the 2019-20 and 2022-23 school years.
The data backs a key criticism of school resource officers, which is that they increase tickets and arrests and feed the school-to-prison pipeline."
