Omaha schools are under fire after revealing school resource officers have been using “shock gloves” — a controversial device delivering controlled electric shocks as a less-lethal option. While police say it’s safer than tasers and only 29 of 34 officers are trained to use it, critics like The Arc of Nebraska demand transparency and warn against targeting vulnerable students. Two recent deployments — one at a special education school, the other involving trespassing — sparked outrage, especially since students declined medical care afterward. Each use is logged and reviewed by police leadership, but parents and advocates remain divided on whether these tools truly enhance safety or erode trust in schools.
