The Dallas Police Department is meeting with Dallas-area school districts to improve plans for campus security in the event of an active shooter.
Dallas City Council members received an update by memo on Monday about the need for certain changes in light of lessons learned from the Uvalde school shooting.
In the memo discussed Monday, the Dallas deputy city manager said DPD is planning to update instructions for command and control during an active shooter event. The first meeting was between DPD and Dallas ISD, but city staff says plans are being made to include other districts in the city as well. "I have emails from teachers and family that said thank you for bringing up this issue. Teachers say the people trying to cause harm don't look at jurisdictions. We need to do all we can to protect them. I think DPD is doing that," said Councilman Adam McGough.
