The Saraland City School Board announced Friday their plans to implement full-time armed resource officers at each of its four campuses, says a Fox 10 TV report.
Per Fox 10 TV, the move is in partnership with the Saraland Police Department and will reportedly start in the fall of 2019.
“Saraland currently enjoys an outstanding school system, and it is essential that we do everything possible to provide for the safety of our children,” Saraland Mayor Howard Rubenstein said in a news release, via Fox 10 TV. “The City believes that working with Saraland City Schools to have a police officer assigned to each school is very important to Saraland families, and we look forward to implementing this program.”
