This brief refutes the misconceptions about the differences in policing structures, including that school district police departments are “special” police. A cop is a cop – and school district police perpetrate the same harms against young people as any other police. Previously not available in one place due to a lack of publicly accessible information about these departments, this brief offers the first-ever compilation of the over 400 school district police departments across the country, and that they disproportionately harm Black and Latine students. Finally, it reaffirms the call to action from young people and organizers for Police Free Schools, and warns that school district police departments ignore these demands and in fact, can be even harder to dismantle.
