Do you think it's a good thing to have drug-sniffing dogs in our public high schools?

Do you think it's a good thing to have drug-sniffing dogs in our public high schools?
Here is a link and the beginning of an article that I just read on my local newspapers's website. I live in Rochester, MN and newspaper is called the Post-Bulliten. Although I'm not too surprised to be reading this, I am a bit disappointed.

[link to www.postbulletin.com]

Rochester Public Schools has a new weapon in its arsenal to keep illegal drugs out of schools. His name is Chase, a Belgian Malinois whose nose is so keen that it can detect the scent of a narcotic an hour after it has been removed from a can.

The Rochester school district for the first time plans to use Chase and other drug-sniffing canines to prevent and keep illegal drugs out of its three high schools.

"I guess my message to students is: We don't want drugs in our schools," Rochester Police Sgt. Mike Drees, who oversee the department's K-9 unit, told the Rochester School Board at Tuesday's meeting. "If we have to have drugs somewhere, go back to the dark alleys and dark corners and hide where police officers are trained to locate you."


In my opinion, this is just another sign of TPTB trying to normalize this sort of thing.

What do you think?

Of course it isnt a good idea!

We need to trust our kids, if police distrust them they will distrust police and for good reason.

Re: Do you think it's a good thing to have drug-sniffing dogs in our public high schools?
In the City where I live they have drug sniffing dogs. They don't take them into the schools. Drugs are easy to obtain from other kids at school here. When you are a parent and have to send your children to public schools (I do think homeschooling is better) you don't want to worry what kind of drugs they will have at their disposal. Think elementary schools, or middle school--not 18 year olds.

It is a school, for the purpose of learning....you wouldn't want to have to "trust" your child--because they are a child, they make mistakes and do childish things, things that might kill them.

By your logic (the one about trusting police)--no don't trust police, and should we just trust people to drive the speed limit in the school zones? Just trust people to always to the right thing? A child's thinking often goes to what they can get away with.

My Daughter at college is going to a formal where they will be giving people a breathalyzer test when they arrive so kids don't show up drunk.

This would have been a good idea at the high school level where they had to send kids to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

If you ever become a parent someday you will realize how strong the desire is to protect your children and keep them safe.

Excellent idea, schools are for learning and not for drugging.

No drugs should be given to dogs until there is enough for the humans. I love dogs but I think it's ridiculous to have dogs turn into junkies while there are humans who need them.

Part of being a parent is excepting that you can not protect them all the god damn time. Stop draining the fun out of childhood just to protect a few thousand lives, it is so fucking pathetic.

Unfortunately over the past oh I would say 2 decades, drugs are showing up at a startling rate inside of schools.

Back in my day in school we heard rumors of 'junkies' people who used drugs - but they were all adult and in the bad side of town.

Today all of my great nephews and nieces, in several cases not even out of grammar school know of drugs, know the name of drugs and in one school an 8 year old was already hooked on drugs and even trying to sell drugs to other students (Later found out that his parents were pretty much forcing him to make money by selling drugs at school).

The world has changed, and not all for the better.

While I dislike the idea of police and drug sniffing dogs having to police little children, the fact is they have to now.

That genie was released from the bottle long ago.

Interesting that there is no need, nor suggestion of a need, for alcohol sniffing dogs in schools or anywhere.

This is one smart Aussie!

They should also build detention centers in our schools as well, equipped with water-boarding rooms. That way if a child is accused of some sort of crime or disturbance, we can waterboard him into making a confession. Now no teachers will have to worry where that missing stapler went, little johnny just confessed to stealing it after a 2-hour water boarding session.

forget the dogs, they should just pee in a cup every day before school....and maybe have a camera attached to them everywhere they go so parents can see everything they are doing 24/7.....
