First of all, you need to decide if you agree or disagree with that statement. Once you've decided which side of the fence you're on (so to speak!), you'll be better able to write your thesis.
Remember -- the thesis statement needs to be the sentence in which you state the main idea of your paper -- which you intend to prove true by the end of your paper.

Hi, thanks your website was helpful.
I don't think armed police officers should be in our schools.
This is what i have so far:
"Although having police officers in our schools has proven a success rate in the decrease of violence and bullying, armed police is not a solution but rather an admission of failure to address developmental and emotional problems amongst our teens."

It still needs some tweaking. I feel that it's too specific.
What do you think?

You're going to have a tough time if you use that as a thesis statement. You're admitting that there is a successful situation with armed police officers on campuses, but you want to change it. Wow!
Try again!! DON'T MENTION the past success rate in your thesis!!
