MESA, AZ – Officer Scott Urkov is a little miffed after he was requested by school officials not to wear his gun or uniform when he goes to drop his daughter off at school. He was reported as being too scary for some parents in Mesa, Arizona. The school principal called him and asked him never to wear his uniform on campus ever again.

Urkov is a parent of a child who attends Entz Elementary School in Mesa, Arizona. The officer wrote on his Facebook page,  “Nothing like your kids school calling and asking if I could not come to pick up my daughter in uniform cause parents were concerned when their kids came home telling them there was a man at school with a gun. Are you freaking kidding me?”

The Mesa Unified School District officials said they didn’t realize that the request would upset him. “We apologize that he took the discussion the wrong way perhaps, that was not the intent of the principal to offend him,” said Hollands.

After a public backlash, the school has invited the officer to talk about what police officers do for the community and claimed they want to make this a “teaching moment”.
