Hundreds of school resource officers in South Carolina are will be patrolling school classrooms and hallways with military and law enforcement gear and equipment, according to a news report. 

Through our Summer of 2013 Renewathon, Security magazine raised more than $1,500 and will donate it to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Poking or physically harassing police officers could result in up to four years in prison, according to a bill recently passed by the New York State Senate.

It will cost $12,000 for two months of having an off-duty deputy stationed at Old Kings Elementary School, but Laura Lauria is footing the bill anyway.

LAPD officers will "adopt" a school and visit for 30 minutes everyday, the new policy states, talking with teachers, parents and staff, in an effort to stave off violence after the Dec. 14, 2012, shootings in Newtown, Conn.

The proposed bill in the Virginia state legislature would allow retired police officers to work as full-time school security officers while still collecting pension benefits.

Seventy-two officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty during 2011, according to preliminary statistics from an FBI report.
