I wonder what they're doing

Can you see the two policemen in the photo? In the background, you can see the school. Most of the students had been delivered but there were still a few vehicles coming and going. I watched the men for a while and sneaked a photo. I’ve never seen them there before but that doesn’t mean they don’t do this regularly. They might have been looking for illegal e-scooters or riders without helmets. I can’t imagine they were looking for criminals but you never know.

If they are there, for sure it's happening something. I hope nothing dangerous for the students.

@JudyEv May be just someone important who visited the school.

They weren't there too long. I looked a bit later and they'd gone.

Maybe they were acting on a tip about nefarious plans involved with the students or the school.

That could be. There are a lot of kids on scooters/bikes/etc. I'm not sure they all wear helmets.

It never hurts to post police officers near schools.

That's for sure.

They’re looking for me, but they’ll never catch me! I’d like to think they had nothing to do and were just watching the sun set.

I can't imagine they had much to do in this area. I must admit I hadn't thought about the sunset!

Might be making a random visit. Keeps the bad ones guessing

I've never noticed any speeding past this school, not when the kids are arriving or leaving.

Well two cops standing around doing nothing is not a new phenomenon If it was the UK they would be waiting on a black teen girl that they could humiliate back at the station

Why are some so nasty? They give the rest a bad name.

Probably just standing watch. The police here show up at schools at pick up and dismissal times to monitor and direct traffic as needed.

I guess so. I haven't seen them before or after but I don't sit there watching either.

You could be right.

Your communities are lucky if the police can afford the time to be at the schools when the students and staff are coming and going-I do not believe that they do that here.

Just being visible can prevent problems.

That's for sure. Perhaps they'd had a few calls about an issue.

@JudyEv I think they might be debating what kind of donut they’re going to have later.

I have seen them parked in the school carpark and having their lunch. On the weekends, there is often a learner driver practising their reversing, parking, etc.

Hmm. Maybe. I'll give them the benefit of a doubt.
