Sun Service Company, a North Dakota Corporation, Robert W. Froemming, David D. Owen, Paul J. Sentman and Bruce F. Thompson v. Warren T. Cowgill · Froemming v. Gate City Federal Savings & Loans Ass'n“The uncontradicted evidence showed that Ms. Cook, the school official, conducted the investigation of the thefts that had been reported to her. Ms. Jones [the police liaison officerj’s involvement was limited to a pat-down search conducted after a coin purse matching the description of the one stolen ivas found and to briefly interviewing [the plaintiff].... ... The imposition of a probable cause warrant requirement based on the limited involvement of Ms. Jones would not serve the interest of preserving swift and informal disciplinary procedures in schools. Ms. Jones did not conduct any of the initial interviews of the students and participated in a pat-down search only after evidence was discovered.... It is clear that the correct standard to apply under the circumstances presented in this case is the standard enunciated by the Court in T.L.O.: Whether the search was reasonable under all of the circumstances.”
