North East Independent School District Police Chief Wallace McCampbell said in the event of an active shooter, 'We will wait for no one.'
North East Independent School District Police Chief Wallace McCampbell is in charge of security for 75 campuses and leads 70 officers when fully staffed.After a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School in May, Gov. Greg Abbott directed Texas public schools to “redouble” their efforts to ensure schools are safe and secure before the start of the new school year.
Question: How helpful do you think the governor’s recent directives will be in keeping schools and students safe, such as the purchasing of body shields and requiring a summer targeted partial safety audit?We are always looking at our security plans to see if there is anything we can do differently or utilize [equipment] such as shields or other security systems to help make our schools safer.
Q: What other tools do you think would be helpful in maintaining school safety and security? What more do you think the state could be doing to secure campuses?Each school district has different needs based on what they have currently. For NEISD, I feel that we have done a lot of things to help make our campuses more secure. There are things that have been discussed that not necessarily would be adding to what we are doing but enhancing what we have. Of course, doing this has a cost.
