“It comes back and it says not only is that a gunshot, but that is a AR-15, it’s a 2-2-3 round that’s being fired,” Davis said. It’s also a GPS that pinpoints the shooter’s exact location. The device detects the sound of a gunshot and sends instant communication to 911 dispatch and police officers. It’s a very large campus, and you don’t know exactly where to go.”
You would expect it to be less than that, but there is a lot of confusion and you don’t have the situational awareness that you would need to respond more quickly. Ted Davis, CEO of Georgia-based manufacturer BodyWorn by Utility Inc., said the normal response time to a school shooting is about 18 minutes.
Active Shooter Response will be in every classroom and hallway of every school. It will help protect 16,000 students in the district. The district will be the first in the nation to use the technology that alerts law enforcement of an active shooter within two minutes. Lawrence Township Schools will soon have a gunshot detection and location reporting system called Active Shooter Response. (WISH) - A new device will change the way law enforcement responds to active shootings in schools.
