All of FCPS have FCPD Narcotic K9 units sweep schools, this past week the K9 units came to Annandale High School. Some students do not agree that the Dogs should have the right to search school grounds. They do not think about benefits of the searches. When school started all students signed the SR&R that gives the right for the County to have schools searched. The SR&R also says you cannot bring harmful and illegal substances to school. If it is in your locker the school has the right to search it. The searches may happen more than once during the school year. By the students not knowing when the dogs come and it may cause students to think twice before bringing these substances to school. Some people may feel uncomfortable with these searches, but if you do not have anything to hide, you should be fine with being searched. FCPS is trying to protect students from possible harm. Schools should be a safe environment for students to learn. By having these searches, kids can feel more comfortable knowing that they are being protected. The dogs search the school it is just enforcing the rules and wants to make sure they are being followed. In emergencies, police authorities will need to know where entrances are in schools.It is very important that they have test runs and drills to get informed about where things are in the schools. Also, they will need to know what rooms are which and how big there are in case there is a shooting. In the end, these drills and sweeps are only benefiting the students by making sure schools are safe and knowing how to stop major emergencies.
