God bless this young man. Never be helpless again. I’m 60 years old now and yet I couldn’t understand at 6-7 years old, why where my Father worked there was 2-4 armed guards at every entrance and yet my school had no security guards at all. Now finally the school systems are waking up to the fact that they have to do the same thing to protect their students. Imagine the tragedies that could have been prevented if the school systems had taken their heads out of the sand and instead allowed the students the benefit of having armed security guards/ officers or even allowed the teachers to be armed. I’m not saying to have a teacher open carrying a sidearm but if a teacher is afraid to be armed fine but if a teacher has the ability to be armed then so be it. An armed society is a polite society.
El Paso Cielo Vista Walmart was my store I worked in . Now I'm in the medical field and also a private level 2 security officer . I will always protect the people and till this day it's hard remembering the shooting that acurred that faithful day my the lord bless all families and our city . El Paso Strong forever
They should implement it at the lowest income schools first and the affluent schools last. I have a feeling that once the low crime schools have theirs the school board will decide to cut the budget so the low income schools are left to the criminals.
Depends on the company, contract and where it is. Some school spots pay good, $25+ an hour starting with stellar benefits. Some, not as much. Maybe $18-20 starting for the lower ones with mid tier benefits after a 60-90 day probation period.
depends on the company. Allied you get mostly want to be cops, untrained scared under-equipped guards. The best company I have worked for is Paragon but federal. if its 1 guard you have non.
@joao-joao - Od course not, but I see nothing wrong with asking parents to volunteer to help keep the schools safe. Many schools already ask parents to walk the campus for extra security, anyway.
I was kind of kidding, but in Japan they do demand that parents do security job at a rotation schedule to keep them responsible for keeping children safe. Not sure why they do it, but they do it. Texas can do the same, if they want.
Do you have any idea how much it would cost to train and maintain a school resource officer for every school? Training - $5,000 to $7,000 per officer (usual police Academy price) Equipment -$ 1,000 - $1,500 per officer plus equipment upkeep and duty weapons Annual salary - $60,000 per officer minimum! Throw all that in there and you’re looking at the medium price of $134,400 for two school resource officers first year and $120,000 every year after. And that’s just one school. Compare that with armed security guards No equipment upkeep Personal equipment Pre-trained And lower cost For the same price of two school resource officers, you can get three armed and pre-trained security guards .

Thank You for your service
The guards need to be required to wear bodycams when on duty.
Agreed! That and body armor. He’s useless if he’s taken a round to the chest.
That's up to the company because it's private.
You sure trust criminal more then a security guard.
Mine stays on at all times while on duty!
They do do crooked ish like pd
I'd love to work at a grade school. Kids need protected like this.

Those is security don't usually get any recognition for protecting life and property as well providing a public service to the community.
L&P should pay more and that’s all I’ll say

What about the pay check I'm guessing not to great.

Really depends on the company and the site he should be getting 25hr
This must be in response to all the yellow beliied cowards hiding from Uvalde PD
Why does a Elementary School need armed guards?
Oh no reason, just look at Sandy Hook and uvalde elementary school.
What company level 3 Security officer in Texas myself around Houston
Isn’t Texas open carry? I mean, wouldn’t it be cheaper to ask for parental volunteers to come in armed and just have them patrol the campus?
Do you want to turn Texas into Japan? Where parents need to secure their schools at a rotating schedule.
