A false alarm that a gunman was roaming one Catholic high school and then another in March 2023 touched off frightening evacuations and a robust police response in the city.

The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh began forming its own armed police force.

The officers proved pivotal in about a third of the 67 foiled plots by current or former students.

Since 2020 , the role of police in educational settings has been hotly debated.

Some school districts, notably in large cities such as Los Angeles and Washington , D.C. , reacted to concerns by reducing or removing their school resource officers.

This year , there has been apparent rethinking of the risks in and near school property and, in some instances, parents are calling for a return of officers.
