School shooters, like guerrilla fighters or terrorists, possess a power to spread widespread fear and grief way out of proportion to their actual strength. That fact has added complex wrinkles to the ongoing debate over the expense, intrusiveness and direction school security should take.
But in Shelby County, Ind., one company with its eye on that school safety goal has an idea about how to cut through the complications. It's sparing no expense in trying to create a showpiece for ideas on developing a safer school.
Using $400,000 of its own money, Fredericksburg, Va.-based Net Talon has funded a test security program at a high school in that Indiana county.
There, teachers wearing wireless key fobs can activate a system of alerts.
Smoke canisters and other undisclosed countermeasures are deployed.
Bulletproof doors and windows are locked, and areas contained.
And real-time video is fed back to the Sheriff's Department, enabling law enforcement to know where a shooter may be at any given moment, potentially shortening life-saving response times.
