Statement Of LA School Police Chief Regarding Board of Education Approval of Four Million Dollars To Augment School Police Deployment

“I am pleased that the Board of Education voted today to support the Superintendent’s request to approve the increase of 4-million dollars for hiring of additional school police officers and police resources”, said Steve Zipperman, Chief of the Los Angeles School Police Department (LASPD).   “The men and women of the LASPD understand these very difficult budget requests at a time when limited funding is available, and many important funding requests are on the table.  Superintendent John Deasy and the Board of Education both recognize that the safety of our students, staff, campuses and District assets and infrastructure must remain a top priority.  Today’s budget approval reaffirmed the commitment to school safety”.
