Provide organizations with a nationally recognized cost effective threat mitigation system to prevent rapidly involved mass murder events using a full spectrum of pre-emptive and responsive control-measures.
Security is relative.
Do you want your kids to live in a bunker? No. Prison? No.
Can we go far enough to make it safe without making it look like a prison? Absolutely!
Why don’t we?
Because that’s not the solution those in power want for us. Consider this:
We had CCTV since when?
We had motion sensors and door sensors since when?
We had CBC and solid core doors since 1999, right?
I could go on! We could secure our kids at a reasonable price, starting today. We’ve had the ability to lock down every school in the country with low profile effective security measures that will stop a threat actor and help people get out for about 5 years now, probably longer if we were able to look inside DARPA, unrestricted.
I have been studying this for quite some time. I know this is hard to believe, but I know for a fact that “We the People” could have a threat management system installed on a campus the size of Indiana University for $1.27 per square foot.
(Disclaimer: None of these links are meant for anything but to answer the question. They don’t contain click trackers or special URL’s so that I get some kind of ad revenue for posting them. NOT ONE. So, please, this answers an important question, don’t taze me!)
I am going to put some links down, just to assist you looking at what “security” is, now days - and what it can currently do for us. I am also telling you that securing our schools is the shortest distance to “safety” and we can do it without causing our schools to be prisons.
Here’s what a threat management system should be able to do:
Deliver non-lethal force to any bad actor, anywhere, any time within 30 seconds of detection. Causing the maximum amount of interference with that bad actor’s timeline, within the shortest time possible.
Vector people away from the threat.
Vector first responders to the threat.
Remotely put all districts on lock-down immediate upon danger detection.
Publish a description of the bad actor, to all first responders.
Remotely pilot the building/venue to defend itself.
Safeguard a rally point for evacuee’s. Search and identify any wounded, for EMTs (combat medics) to save.
Take, investigate and process reports of bad actors, immediately.
Do all of the above and still maintain a school atmosphere of learning.
Open regulatory doors.
Close liability traps.
Here are the companies, organizations and agencies that could pull it off.
Mass Notification Technology and Emergency Communications
This company specializes in systems integration. They specialize in how several different emergency systems talk to one another. Mass notification and stake holder notification and coordination are key. Why not give all key people real-time visibility into what’s happening?
Now, go to this website: Mission - Corrections | PepperBall®
These guys specialize in non-lethal force. We have the ability to step on the threat actor’s timeline, in less than 30 seconds after detection, or in real time if we spot the threat actor, first.
Now, go to this website: Thermal Imaging, Night Vision and Infrared Camera Systems
and then Smart Video Solutions by going to this website.
Imagine, a weapon concealed inside of a trench-coat, can be seen using thermal. We could see this start to go down in the parking lot, long before the threat enters a building.
Surf to Patriot ONE: https://patriot1tech.com/solutions/patscan-vrs/ because they got $3m from Raytheon to develop this technology and make gun-spotting more effective. If you combine this tech with the Shooter Detection technology SDS is creating and I think sub-30 second response time is a reality.
Patriot One, specialize in cameras that can see stuff in all kinds of conditions.
Now go to this website: http://shooterdetectionsystems.com/
SDS guys specialize in shooter detection systems that can pinpoint a gun shot inside of a building, within several feet of it’s location.
Now go to this website: Attack Resistant Opening Solutions
. If a building lock-down could be done remotely, with these doors? Are you kidding me?
These guys specialize in doors that are useful in protecting the people behind them.
Now go to this website: Motorola and Avigilon about Advancing Public Safety Technology
These people were successful in a full cross company integration. We could also do this in schools and malls.
Now go to this website: Johnson Controls
These guys have more money than they know how to spend. They specialize in building systems and alarm systems (they bought Tyco, aka ADT business to business).
Now go to this website: Inside the safest school in America
These people got a whole state Sheriff’s association to test and sponsor an integrated system remotely piloted by a central command center manned by first responders. They can lock down a school in seconds, if a gunshot is detected.
Now go to this website: Home - SecureWatch24
These people know how to build a command center or operations center so that one group of first responders can monitor, remotely, every school in your district.
Now go to this website: Ordnance and Tactical Systems
This company specializes in combat tested robotics. They can build a machine that could be remotely piloted from a central command center, securely, and come up with systems that could leverage the stuff Johnson Controls can install.
Now go to this website: Stantec[1]
This architectural firm is one of the top firms in the world, for designing schools.
If you combine the expertise of these companies with the tech. They can build us a system (threat management system) that could stop a bad actor in a building, school, arena, theater, store, concert venue, casino, and race track within seconds, not minutes.
The reason why this is still a topic is because no one company, agency or organization has taken on the mantle of digging in and getting it done.
We DON’T have to arm teachers or security guards. We don’t have to call on our brave retired police officers who just need to relax and take a break from saving people. We don’t have to teach kids how to die well. We don’t have to do any of this!
Here is a list of MEN/WOMEN who could fix this with a stroke of their pens:
We used to publish a list of rich guys who could easily solve this if they wanted to. We took their names off. This isn't a rich guy's solution. This is a grass roots solution. All we need is a small amount of funding to demo a proof of concept, and we can let the public do the rest.
We also lost confidence in what the professional school shooting survivors can give us. They just wanted their pain to stop. They are all comfortable and wealthy now. No impact, nationally, on what's happening. They got a lot of pictures taken with big-shots, and we are happy they have some comfort for their losses. However, NO results is still no results.
We also lost confidence in the professional organizations with short memories and their turn at the feeding trough. It seems like the guy who had all the answers, the CEO with all the leadership experience, the former FBI agent with all the connections, still haven't given us a system wide solution. We have a ton of best practice position papers, but Uvalde shows us that none of that stuff ever had any lasting "fire escape" level effect.
So, there are currently NO names here. Just skepticism.
Here is a list of government regulators that could pave the way: (Democrats aren't interested in solving this problem with anything other than gun confiscation. So this list is only as good as the administration that controls them.)

IF you add up these companies and these professionals, it equals SAFE MASS VENUES across the country in as little as 3 years from right now. How do I know this? Because I took the time to find out its possible.
