State police have been doing school visits for years per their policy, but due to recent events troopers have been doing several school visits per day.

“With an increase in school visits, parents may see KSP patrol vehicles at schools frequently. KSP is asking parents that if they see patrol vehicles at a school that it is no cause for alarm and they should not feel the need to contact the school to see if everything is OK,” the release stated.
