  2. We have some fantastic Active Shooter Defense technology as well that uses Artificial Intelligence to detect guns, send to a monitoring station instantly for verification and then go directly to topline dispatch for first responders. It also notifies all relevant parties and they stay on with first responders while tracking the individual. It can also trigger magnetic locks to keep people in or out as needed and is a very robust solution. Security funding can be used for it. They also have bullet proof laminate options where needed. I tried sending this to a few schools and such locally here when there was an extreme sale on the solution last summer… but it is tough to get a decision maker’s attention. If anyone is interested, fell free to reach out. It is useful for shuls, businesses and retail locations as well.
