These are the rants of a retired chief of police with over 45 years in law enforcement experience!  The only thing I can say about the school shooter is Mental illness!  We have long overlooked this illness, dropped it in the laps of local law enforcement and ignored it!  It’s about time it is addressed!  When the FBI discovered there were serial killers roaming the streets of our country, they developed a specialized unit, &quot;Criminal Profiling Unit&quot;, to compile data, analyze, track, arrest and assist in their prosecutions.  I’m of the opinion that if they have not already done so, it is about time the FBI develop and implement a unit that specialize in compiling data on school shooters and share their findings with local law enforcement.  I believe they have the resources to develop such a computerized program to profile, detect and target these individuals.  The data already exists because of the many years of school shootings which have occurred in this country.  I believe that the FBI has the technical expertise and personnel to develop an algorithm to search firearm purchased databases and compare this data with mental health records.  I further believe that the FBI should be mandated to provide local FBI offices and local law enforcement agencies with discovered profiles of individuals so that they may be further investigated.  The FBI should be mandated by either a Presidential Executive Order or Congressional Mandate to work closely with local law enforcement so that they can have an up close and personal examination of these individuals.

In the interim, we have billions of unspent dollars issued to cities and towns for Covid relief.  This money should be directed to fund school security plans, teaching training and coordinated programs with local law enforcement to insure and enhance student safety and protection.  Additionally, with these funds a trained law enforcement officer could be placed in almost every school in the United States.  Our children are worth it.";}i:7;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"11";s:4:"slug";s:12:"verification";s:4:"name";s:12:"Verification";s:4:"type";s:12:"verification";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:1:"0";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}i:8;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"12";s:4:"slug";s:27:"please-enter-any-two-digits";s:4:"name";s:27:"Please enter any two digits";s:4:"type";s:6:"secret";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:2:"11";}i:9;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"13";s:4:"slug";s:6:"submit";s:4:"name";s:6:"Submit";s:4:"type";s:6:"submit";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}}
