Makes me wonder how much are they paying their cops? I suspect it's all being used to justify an increase in their budget. It's all about more money.ELB wrote:After reading the DMN article a couple times, it looks like the real campus carry cost figure is more like $300k, not close to a million. The biggest part of the $960K total cost is the $562K for hiring three more cops and maybe some security guards for the Texas State System. Take a look:
They lied.One cost outlier came from the Texas State System, where officials cited campus carry as the reason for hiring additional police officers and security guards at Texas State and Lamar universities. Those costs totaled about $562,000 this year.
They were going to hire more cops anyway, campus carry just gave them a way to squall and justify their budget to the Leg.But Texas State University Police Chief Jose Banales said the new law was actually one of "several factors" in the decision to add three officers to his force.
"The university has experienced quite a bit of growth," he said. "So it aligned with what we were anticipating for campus carry."
