An additional three Topeka Public School officers as well as two Student Resource Officers from the Topeka Police Department were at the school Thursday morning, in addition to three Topeka Public School police officers typically in the building on a daily basis.

The eight police officers are on the interior of the building and on school grounds.

Topeka Police have also supported the school by adding six motorcycle unit officers who are working around the areas adjacent to the school.
A similar set up is planned for Friday, according to the school district.
