In response to the Uvalde shooting, the State of Texas has authorized grant programs to improve public schools response to emergencies.
Chief Michael said this is just one more layer of security.
"Anything that you can do to protect the officers gives them a little bit more assurance and if they do encounter a fire fight or gun fight, they might be able to take a few more rounds and stay in the fight a little longer where as if they didn’t have those shields, those first couple of rounds might be enough to take them out of the fight," Chief Michael said.
The Lake Travis ISD Superintendent of Schools said, "It is imperative that Lake Travis ISD take proactive measures to ensure response and care can be provided as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency occurring on school property." Once the funding is approved by the state, the school districts will have 12 months to purchase the shields and officers will be required to take Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training.that I have read and agree
