JUST IN: Out of an abundance of caution, Clay County school police say they have partnered with local law enforcement agencies to increase security measures at all schools for the rest of the week.
Greg Burton, the chief of the Duval County School Police Department, notified families of students of the heightened security in a message Tuesday evening, saying the move was made out of an abundance of caution.
Burton noted that in addition to the armed police or security officer staffed at each of the district’s schools, “all of our leadership officers will be at schools for the remainder of the week, and we have asked other law enforcement agencies in the area to be especially vigilant around our schools.”In addition, Burton’s message reminded people to report any threats to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families whose lives have been forever impacted by the events in Texas today. While their loss is heavy on my heart, we remain steadfast in our mission to keep students and staff safe. In closing, I also remind you that school security is a partnership. If you see or hear of a threat to our schools, please inform us or the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office immediately.
