Schools have been sent the following checklist as a way to bring renewed attention to their safety procedures.

• SRO / school staff should be constantly aware of any suspicious packages or items left unattended. Inspections for any unattended suspicious items will be conducted every morning. Efforts will be coordinated with all school personnel and they will be instructed to bring all matters of suspicion to the principals / SROs attention immediately.

• Enhanced visible patrols throughout the campus. This should be done at random times as to not create a "pattern."
