DENVER — Twelve police officers will be stationed in 11 Denver high schools beginning next week in response to the recent shooting of two East High administrators by a student.
Two armed and uniformed officers from the Denver Police Department will be at East High School when classes resume Wednesday after spring break. Additionally, one officer will be at each of the following high schools: North, South, West, Montbello, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, Manual and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College.
The officers will remain on the campuses for at least the remainder of the school year. Denver Public Schools will convene a series of community meetings in the coming months to determine whether to implement school resource officers permanently.
