My country had police officers in all schools for a month or so after the First Ever School Shooting In The Entire Country happened, but only because parents demanded it.
I think most countries will eventually go through one. For the UK it was Dunblane, after which the government went "no more handguns then?" and we all went "yeah, I suppose", because only a handful of people kept them anyway.
No, see they're mostly there so children learn to obey through intimidation talk to police, and they definitely never use it as a punishment detail for officers who got in trouble for anger issues
In the good ol USA, schools often have what's called a school resource officer. Meant to be the connection between school kids and the police department, they have been useful for truancy and other problems that happen with students ( esp. high school age) at schools.
Although more recently they've been the (mostly) reliable first contact in the event of a school shooter, the SRO is usually first on scene and relays into to responding officers.

So when a kid gets transferred to a new elementary school they are advised as a newcomer to punch the baddest bully/the officer to establish dominance, preferably during recess, with one of them prison food trays. ... no, wait, that can't be right, US kids dont get food at school.
(But for real, from the headlines I only ever heard bad things)
