Although we are bombarded daily with news of gun violence, one school security study indicates our efforts are paying off.
The new Tennessee law allocates $230 million in funding for school safety improvements, including the addition of an SRO to each campus.
The technology can identify brandished guns and send alerts to safety personnel within 3-5 seconds of detection, says the company.
The upgrades are being prompted by February’s active shooter incident that killed three MSU students.
The investigation into MSU’s recent shooting hasn’t found a conclusive motive as to why the campus was targeted.
There were 50 active shooter incidents, resulting in 313 deaths or injuries last year in the United States.
Swatting incidents continue to plague our schools, but combining threat assessment strategies with security technology can help stem the tide.
Security technology, such as gunshot detection, and training can help schools comply with Alyssa’s Law as well as mitigate risk.
From 2001 to 2019, there were 70% fewer reports of someone carrying a gun onto school grounds and a 68% reduction in reports of other weapons.
In this webinar, attendees will learn the observable behaviors people exhibit as they head down a path of violence so we can help prevent the preventable.
This discussion will help participants analyze, understand, and assess their own program effectiveness.
