Milwaukee Public Schools plans to reinstate School Resource Officers by January 1, 2024, in response to a state mandate and potential funding.

Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) announced an agreement with the Milwaukee police to reinstate School Resource Officers (SROs) by January 1, 2024, following a state mandate. However, the city's attorney contested the claim, stating no finalized agreement exists. MPS, which removed SROs in 2016, faces pressure from city officials to implement the program, which is tied to a bipartisan revenue law that could secure over $200 million in funding.
