The Greater Victoria School Board voted unanimously last spring to cut the school-liaison officer program.
About a dozen people rallied at the Greater Victoria School District office Monday afternoon in support of a discontinued program that regularly brought police officers to schools.
While Victoria police haven’t had school-liaison officers since 2018 due to budget shortfalls, Victoria Police Chief Del Manak — a former school-liaison officer himself — wanted the program to be restarted. Manak and Saanich Police Chief Dean Duthie both disagreed with the board’s decision, with Duthie noting that his department had been active in the program for decades.
Poppe said her group would welcome “modifications” if the program were reinstated in order to deal with any concerns about students who might not be comfortable seeing an officer in uniform.
