Monday night at a school board meeting, Central Dauphin Officials discussed putting a police officer in district middle schools.
After the incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School, there has been a lot of talk nationally about putting police in schools. But the Central Dauphin School Board says their reasoning isn't a reaction to Sandy Hook.

The idea comes from the Lower Paxton Police Department, to have a cop randomly patrol Central Dauphin, Central Dauphin East and Linglestown Middle Schools.
The officer would be a point of contact between the schools and local police and the idea has been in the works for several years.
Lower Paxton Police also say the police patrol wouldn't cost the schools a cent.
