COSTA MESA, Calif.—The Costa Mesa Police Department (CMPD) said on May 25 it will increase patrols at all schools in the city through the end of the school year after a Texas elementary school shooting killed 21 earlier this week.
The CMPD typically has school resource officers—police officers specifically assigned to patrol schools—stationed year-round at Costa Mesa High School and Estancia High School and visit nearby elementary schools, according to officials.
