      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.

      Afaik the top bully in school.

      So when a kid gets transferred to a new elementary school they are advised as a newcomer to punch the baddest bully/the officer to establish dominance, preferably during recess, with one of them prison food trays. … no, wait, that can’t be right, US kids dont get food at school.

      (But for real, from the headlines I only ever heard bad things)
