(KCEN) -- A Texas school district increases security by adding SWAT officers to its police force.
Edinburg CISD is bulking up their school police force by adding in a SWAT team.
In a video of a training drill, the team is seen practicing for the real thing, storming school hallways in search of a shooter.
The school district says it is all part of an effort to better protect students.
Edinburg CISD Police Chief Ricardo Perez, Jr. said, "We felt if we had a SWAT team we can be better prepared for any intruder or active shooter."
The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Department provided the SWAT training free of charge.
Currently Edinburg CISD has 48 sworn police officers, 40 security officers and three K9 officers.
