Hello David, unfortunately our choices for securing schools is limited and is going to cost something (Nothings is for FREE.) and there is nothing full proof against attacks on our schools. LeRoy has an on duty officer and I am comfortable with that. I would like to see solid doors with narrow window strategically placed, away from the door handle at every entrance of the school and I would like windows to be narrow and place high enough so not to allow easy access into the school. At that time it might as well be like a prison.
Having an armed officer there is safer than allowing teachers to be armed. To me that would be insane to allow. If, teachers are allowed to be armed then, who would conduct and pay for weapons, weapons training, weapon qualifications (minimum twice a year), dealing with stressful situations and active shooter training? All that training would not be cost effective compare to a couple of LEOs. Camera systems, automated door locks and security systems are costly due to, installation, running the system, maintaining the system, training the operator of the system and technological breakdowns. Last of all at least the LEO would have a chance to eliminate the threat before, they cause maximum causalities or any for that matter.
the schools,imho are already secure enough. to the yes voters,what would you like to see done to make schools more secure?or where you saying yes to spending more money?
