Bill > SB00880

This bill proposes to modify existing Connecticut state law to allow parole officers to serve as armed security officers in public schools. By amending section 10-244a of the general statutes, the legislation would permit parole officers to carry firearms while providing security services within school environments. This change would effectively expand the potential roles and responsibilities of parole officers, giving them an additional opportunity to contribute to school safety beyond their traditional duties of supervising and monitoring individuals on parole. The bill appears to be aimed at increasing security personnel options for schools by leveraging the law enforcement training and background of parole officers, who would be authorized to be present in schools and carry weapons as a means of protecting students and staff.
