Terrance Malik Anderson is facing charges for allegedly attempting to sell heroin during a foiled drug deal in Hatboro.

Authorities allege that Anderson had 120 bags of heroin, seven bags of cocaine and a small amount of marijuana in his possession during a foiled hand-to-hand drug exchange in the Aaron's parking lot at South York Road and Lehman Avenue in Hatboro last month.

The Hatboro-Horsham School District is discussing with Hatboro and Horsham police departments the possibility of adding school resource officers.
Against the backdrop of a projected school tax increase and a staffing reduction, the Hatboro-Horsham School District is looking at ways to pay for the addition of armed police as "another layer of safety and security" at district schools.

But, before then, administrators and municipal officials must find ways to pay for the additional salary. Do you think school resource officers or armed police should be hired for Hatboro-Horsham schools? If so, who should pay their salaries and benefits? One possibility that the Hatboro Borough Council is actively …
