Gov. Chris Christie Signs Bill to Put Armed, Retired Cops in Schools for Security
[Breitbart] New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) has signed legislation that will allow schools and colleges to hire armed, retired police officers to serve as security to protect students and teachers alike.
Christie’s signature comes during the very week in which a Somali refugee drove a car into a group of pedestrians, then chased unarmed students with a knife at Ohio State University.
According to NJ.com, the legislation, S86, allows schools and colleges to hire retired police officers as "special law enforcement officers."
Christie "conditionally vetoed" S86 two months ago because the first version did not require the retired officers to undergo "specialized training covering security issues that routinely arise in the school setting."
