By Caroline Vandergriff, CBS Dallas/Fort Worth June 7, 2022 Some Fort Worth city council members want to put police officers in every elementary school after seeing what happened in Uvalde. The Fort Worth Police Department briefed members on its School Resource Unit during a council work session Tuesday afternoon. They wanted to better understand the current role of school resource officers (SROs) and what could be improved. "Understand that our SROs are some of the best-trained police officers on the force," said Assistant Chief Joseph Sparrow.
