I was pretty sure this was already done around here. Still a liability when
school starts and ends.

Why not equip all school doors with electrically controlled latches.
Fire alarm automatically disables them unless there is a concurrent lock down
alarm. (Or maybe not.) This would be very easy to do. Even
retrofit with wireless control. Give all staff a pendent button
lanyard. Several buttons. EMS, Shooter, Lower priority help
button. There is some money to be made there...

If
anything shoots back or has the ability to do so most of them aren’t too
interested in that from what I’ve experienced. They get very upset if you
don’t disclose if you had bullets or guns in the fire they’re working. If they
find out they pull all of the fire fighters out.
I’d
be interested to see what a Department of Education Task Force or Police Force
would look like to protect schools on a federal level.
But
I’m all for 1st responders actually responding instead of spending
their time fighting parents who want to go in and help save lives. I’m also for
raising the age that a person can obtain a semi-automatic rifle and I’d like
some kind of health screening done to obtain them.
I
have no problem passing a mental health screening to obtain
anymore.
Just
my opinion

Not a totally terribly idea..
I should point out that the city of Sunnyvale California eliminated the "fire
department" many years ago (we lived in Sunnyvale until 1996). They have
"Public
Safety Officers". These officers patrol the city in police cruisers, and where
they roam is determined by an algorithm that attempts to predict where they
might be needed. Each officer has their fire fighting gear in the trunk of the
cruiser so that if there's a fire, they will be ready.
They city saved an enormous amount of money by combining the two departments,
and their success rate is very good.

How about we let the
fire department handle active shooters at schools.
They know how to get
there fast. They are ready to go at an instants notice.
They know how to
breach any building and rescue survivors.
They have heavy
protective gear on, just add a layer of kevlar.
Or give them
extra/different gear they can don on the way to the incident.
They sure as hell
don’t stand around outside discussing jurisdiction and strategy.
They care more about
rescue than they do about their own lives.
