Houston ISD Police Chief Pete Lopez said the officers on his team are well trained but he's worried about the need for even more officers.
As students head back to school in the coming weeks, Houston Independent School District, the state's largest school district, is raising concerns about its own readiness and the need for more equipment for its officers.
"I have to, because with a school district this size, we have over 280 campuses and facilities, if you count those like the stadiums and district headquarters. The numbers don't add up," Lopez said. "I only have 202 officers, so obviously, the numbers don't match. I have to put my resources where the calls of service dictate it, like mostly the high schools and middle schools. So the elementary schools, I think about it every day.
