GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- The Gwinnett County Police Department will have extra patrols at schools beginning Monday morning.
The decision follows the mass shooting Friday at an elementary school in Connecticut that left 20 children and 6 adults dead. The majority of victims were children ages 6 and 7.
According to Sgt. Brian Doan, an officer will be staffed at all 102 school campuses.
"We want to calm students and let them know that they are safe. This is a proactive step and something we do to make sure that there are no copy cat incidents and that the schools are secure," said Doan.

In DeKalb County, resource officers are used in all high schools and middle schools. Some pull double duty when they're called to elementary schools if needed.
According to spokesperson Lillian Govus, there are no immediate plans to change or alter individual security plans but said discussions are likely in the coming weeks.
"We feel that our schools are pretty secure now with resource officers, locked doors between the pick up and drop off times and security cameras to see who is asking to be let in," said Govus.
In a letter sent to parents, Superintendent of Decatur City Schools, Dr. Phyllis Edwards, said:
"Principals and I will meet together to review several safety topics this Monday, and adjust any plans as needed. We will also ask that you help us by following the procedures and ensuring that others do as well. In times like these, it is important that we follow our normal routines as this will convey as sense of calm and security to the children."
