    OPS is not the only school district where OPD is using the shock gloves. The department has confirmed they are using them in Elkhorn, Millard, and Westside public school districts.

    In a statement to Omaha’s News Leader and parents, Westside Community Schools stated that “safety and security personnel were made aware of the potential deployment of these tools on March 27, 2025. Our board of education was made aware of them late last week.”

    What the actual fuck is going on? I cannot understand how multiple employees knew about shock gloves for over a year, didn’t tell the BoE, and kept their jobs. What else aren’t they disclosing that a reporter didn’t ask about?

    Fire them.
