Rhode Island S2209 strengthens school security by establishing a school safety committee and rapid response teams.

Rhode Island S2209 enhances school safety by creating an eight-member Rhode Island school safety committee. This committee will develop recommendations for school security measures and require annual safety assessments by all school districts. The bill also establishes a rapid response team/SWAT team for each city or town police department, focusing on armed police coverage for schools. The committee will meet every three months and report to the Rhode Island General Assembly on needed armed security costs.
