Los Angeles police began patrolling each of the city’s 600 public elementary and middle schools Monday in a beefed-up security plan implemented after the shooting last month in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 students and six staff members dead, according to an article in USA Today.
The plan calls for officers to spend a half-hour everyday at each school on a random time schedule to meet with school members, and possible teachers and parents, the article says.
