Suffolk Police along with County Executive Steve Bellone are hosting a school safety seminar today at the Grant Campus of Suffolk Community College in Brentwood.
The seminar is currently underway and Superintendent James Nolan informed Patch yesterday that he will be in attendance. The purpose of the seminar is to discuss school shootings, not only at the public school level, but at U.S. colleges as well.
During the seminar, police officials will be on hand to make suggestions and offer advice to school administrators seeking to improve security in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month.
