A new system developed locally will use LEDs to guide students away from a school shooter.
A new technology developed in North Texas aims to help students and teachers in the event of a school shooting.With school shootings having become almost commonplace in the United States, school districts and law enforcement agencies have continued to search for ways to prevent them.
Using security cameras integrated with sensors that pick up not only the sound of a gun firing, but the bullet’s path when it is fired by sensing its ballistic pressure, Go-to-Green’s chief feature is an overhead LED lighting system that provides what Pilot Point ISD Police Chief Brad Merritt calls “the pathway to safety.” It's one of the more innovative new approaches to school safety since last year's Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, when 21 people were murdered.
Go-to-Green can work with a school's current security camera system and operates in a realm that’s uncomfortable for many, although it’s an all too realistic one. This technology isn’t going to stop the wrong people from getting guns, and it’s only indirectly going to keep an assailant from entering a school. . It’s almost as if Go-to-Green is a resource for the inevitability of a school shooting, not for the possibility of it.
Go-to-Green isn't intended to be an all-encompassing shooter safety solution. Merritt says it should be used as"an additional resource" along with a school's safety training, drills and even armed guardian and resource officer programs.
