When the Central Wildcats meet the Zachary Broncos for their home game at 7 p.m. Friday, something will be a bit different: Instead of extra-duty Central police officers, East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies will be providing security.

The request from the school was not unreasonable. Police chief taking it to Facebook is pretty trashy.

The principal's request
quote:

Prescott, contacted Thursday evening, said the request involved the Oct. 15 homecoming dance. Prescott said he had asked the chief not only for extra-duty officers, but also to station both an extra-duty policeman and policewoman in the hallway near the school restrooms in case a student of either sex became ill and needed help.


The police chief's answer

quote:

"I refused a demand by high school principal David Prescott (for a prior event) that was not needed and could have opened the city, the police department and the school system to a sexual discrimination lawsuit. I was unwilling to gamble with your tax dollars," Salsbury wrote in the 172-word post.



I worked at CHS. The principal is a reasonable very guy.

All of Central's principal's are some weakass pc jackasses.

They also have a rule where no male can be a chaperone over ANY girls on field trips. Women can chaperone boys though.

Why? Men are guilty of being a potential threat to girls just because they possess a dick.

A pissing contest. The chief just fricked his people out of making some easy money though.

Since the school pays for off duty officers to act as security for these events, I would think that their requests should be granted as a paying customer. Pretty simple.
Oh and Central is full of political trash that loves to air their grievances on social media

So if a female student was raped on campus, would the principal demand an all female police response?
Why do you need a female officer. Could not a female teacher or chaperone pass out tampons?
Police should roam free so that they can respond to violence, not clogged toilets.
Special request based upon sex of officer has lawsuit written all over it!
With the chief on this one.

David Prescott was easily the most reasonable coach and teacher I had when I was at Central. He's worked in academics, coaching, or some form of administration for the past 40 years in this area.

The fact that the Chief of Police felt the need to make this a "public" issue and air out his grievances on social media should paint the picture pretty clear to all as to who lacks compromise in this situation.

Some body go find Coach Dejohn and tell him to go finish this stupid political pissing contest.

The central police are a 100% volunteer force outside of the chief who makes something stupid like $99 a month.

Their funding is non-existent, so I tend to side with the chief when he doesn't feel the need to bend his officers to every whim, considering the officers wouldn't be paid anyway.

If you want free help, don't bitch about the way it's allocated.

Police chief comes off like a bitch in this scenario. Taking it to Facebook? Very mature and professional.

I def think it was unprofessional to bring this to facebook like the chief did. I obviously dont have anything to do with this situation but to me it seems like the principal made a reasonable request. Seems to me that there had to be more thats happened in the past to lead to this decision by the principal.

On another note, I totally understand trying to get officers due to liability issues. Once the police dept decided they couldn't fulfill the request, couldnt the principal have sought employees from Acadian Ambulance? I dont know if they do that kind of work but it would be a first responder available if needed.

Seems like a communication problem. The PC comes off as if he took the request for extra security as a demand so he got butthurt. Instead of calling the principle and talking it out, he failed at politics and went on a FB rant.
