Wethersfield, Conn. (WTNH) - Officers from numerous police departments charged into Wethersfield High School Thursday to hunt for drugs.Radley: "That's not all it proves."
Armed with police dogs, officers from Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Manchester and New Britain raided the high school at 411 Wolcott Hill Road.
Locker by locker and room by room, police and their dogs sniffed around to send the school district’s message that drugs will not be taken lightly.
Police also searched more than 100 cars in the school’s parking lot, which led to the arrest of one student for drug paraphernalia.
Police ended up not finding any drugs, and that lone arrest is something School Superintendent Michael Kohlhagen is proud of.
"This is just one step in the right direction, to ensure our students continue to learn and thrive in a drug free environment." Kohlhagen said and later added, "This issue has been and remains a priority; our entire administration and faculty remain committed to the health, safety and welfare of our students."
Kohlhagen said Thursday’s raid proves that Wethersfield High School is safe and drug free.
David Krueger snarks:
I think everyone should welcome the opportunity to have their property and persons searched so that they can proudly prove to the state their fitness to be loyal subjects. To resist can only mean you’re hiding something. Schools are a particularly appropriate venue for this forceful style of governing because it helps instill in students at a young age what their place is in society as mere civilians, while reinforcing their patriotism, respect for the primacy of government, and their subservience to the national will. This is indeed a powerful tool to squelch the rebellious and independent attitudes that have characterized past generations of young people.
