Omaha Public Schools shock glove ban

Overview

Omaha Public Schools has announced a ban on the use of electric shock gloves, referred to as G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), by school resource officers in middle and high schools. The decision follows a request from Superintendent Matthew Ray and significant public outcry from parents and students regarding safety and trust.

Police reports indicate the devices were used twice during the 2025-2026 school year, involving a student in an integrated learning program and a trespassing student. While Omaha police have agreed to the moratorium, the Bellevue Police Department and the Bellevue school district intend to continue allowing officers to carry the gloves. Other nearby metro area districts, including Millard, Elkhorn, and Westside, have not yet taken action regarding the devices.
