Indiana Officials Pushing for More Security at Schools

By: Chris Veech

Updated: January 3, 2013

Indiana's Attorney General and one Republican lawmaker are asking for $10 million to place more police officers inside Indiana schools. Greg Zoeller says the money would be limited to up to $50,000 per school district, but that could change as lawmakers consider the measure in their upcoming session. Zoeller also says he started working on the idea before the Newtown school shooting and thinks school resource officers would do more than protect against shootings like that.
