In response to active shooter incidents at schools around the nation in recent years, there have been numerous innovations and ideas designed to increase school security and student safety, including bullet-proof backpacks, the See Something Say Something campaign, the concept of armed security mentors and experts weighing in on ways to increase school security.

Add to that list gunshot detection sensor system, according to a Sept. 16 story in policemag.com:

Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), a leading K-12 school gunshot detection solutions provider, and CentralSquare Technologies, a leading public sector software and information technology solutions provider, announced plans to develop and install what they're calling the first gunshot detection sensor system with integrated 911 call automation designed specifically for a school campus at Phoenix Academy, a charter school located in High Point, N.C.

Programmed to reduce response time and save lives in the event of an active shooter incident, the advanced platform is expected to be fully installed and activated in early 2019, with the support of integration partner Johnson Controls.

The first-of-its-kind scholastic detection and response system aligns SDS’ Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System with CentralSquare’s Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System, offering Phoenix Academy a comprehensive and streamlined security upgrade that notifies both individuals inside the school and local police and responders of an active shooter.

Initially, Phoenix Academy plans to integrate the SDS and CentralSquare joint technology across three campus buildings, with additional installations possible at a later date.
