    In the good ol USA, schools often have what’s called a school resource officer. Meant to be the connection between school kids and the police department, they have been useful for truancy and other problems that happen with students ( esp. high school age) at schools.

    Although more recently they’ve been the (mostly) reliable first contact in the event of a school shooter, the SRO is usually first on scene and relays into to responding officers.
