Ridgewood NJ, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness is assuring the public that school security remains a top priority following last week’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where a lone gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at a rural elementary school. “We’ve been proactive in our approach to school safety, taking several measures to help ensure a heightened security posture,” said
NJOHSP Director Laurie Doran. In addition to coordinating with New Jersey Department of Education and law enforcement partners, NJOHSP is assisting with the safety of school communities by working with the Domestic Security Preparedness Task Force School Security Subcommittee, promoting suspicious activity reporting and providing active shooter and school preparedness resources.
There should be ONE door in, with metal detectors. *like sports events, courthouse, airlines*
Teachers should be allowed to conceal carry after training.
Any school resource officers should be plainclothes.
Heres a though… since 9-11 there have been ZERO airline hijackings….
Since every flight thereafter has an ARMED undercover air marshall on board, as well as random armed pilots.. Good guy with a gun is a DETERRENT>
Yes totally agree.
I’m sure most of us are for full security, surveillance, armed trained school personnel, we need to do whatever we have to to have full control of our schools in security it’s a must.
It’s actually more important than teaching certain waste of time and material. I hate to say that but without security our kids cannot learn.
