One of my neighbors, when I lived in LA, a cop, was put undercover in one of the high schools for just that reason. He looked very young so that's why he got the assignment. However, he didn't date any of the girls and would probably have considered it as crossing the line. However, his target wasn't the students but the suppliers and they caught them. The suppliers were gang bangers that were not students, but using some of the students to deal in the high school.
