AROmaha, the largest city in Nebraska, introduced electric shock gloves known as G.L.O.V.E. for school resource officers, which were used against two students during the 2025-2026 academic year. This sparked controversy, especially after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced plans to adopt similar devices. Following community concerns, the superintendent of Omaha Public Schools requested that the police departments in Omaha and Bellevue stop using the gloves within school premises. The Omaha City Council had approved the purchase of 40 pairs of these gloves for under $66,000 in June 2025. However, after the request, the Omaha Police Department temporarily halted their use in schools. The mayor defended the decision to respect the school district’s choice while emphasizing the role of officers in safety strategies.
