    The chief of security wrote to the interim school business administrator about issues with principals improperly supervising security officers in the Camden City Public Schools district. Specifically, the chief notes that principals' incorrect judgment calls have created conflicts and confusion for security staff. Additionally, principals have asked officers to take on substitute teaching duties, leaving school buildings unattended, and told officers not to enforce certain minor rules to avoid disciplinary paperwork. The chief asserts that the current policy of officers reporting to principals directly is causing chaos and leaving the security department to address problems principals create.

    Operations Officer Please review the attached reports:

    Pamela Christy In each case the Principal made an incorrect judgment call creating conflict and
    Clerk confusion for the security department, who was left with the task of straightening out the
    problem.
                    

    These are only a few of the daily incidents. During the week of January 26,
    2009, three (3) schools had Officers acting in the capacity of Substitute Teachers, leaving
    the building unattended. The Union called and wanted to know if they were being paid
    as such.

    At Camden High School, Officers are told by Administrators not to confront


    students concerning minor issues i.e. (hats, hall passes, etc.) because they do not want to
    have to “write up” the students.

    The Policy that Security Officers directly report to Principals is causing chaos.
    They manipulate the staff any way they see fit and then leave me to clean up the mess.

    Let me know what you think.
