North Lanarkshire Council’s Conservative group succeeded in gaining support for a motion calling for greater police presence on school campuses.
The motion, presented at the final meeting of the council’s term, was presented by Tory representatives Bob Burgess and Colin Cameron.
It read: “NLC is fully aware of the benefits of our campus police initiative, instructs our education officials to compile a paper, with the collaboration of Police Scotland, to progress the initiative and consider its expansion into high schools which are indicating they are in need of the help and support that a campus based police officer can provide.”
