What does School Hardening really mean? Its being touted as a major deterrent, to reduce the effects or stop a mass murderers at Schools. Everybody would love to have 100% safety for students and Staff. It would look something like this:
Thats actually a prision with security checking ever thing and everyone that comes or goes, monitors and patrols the outside and attempts to control everything on the inside. Still have assaults, rapes, murder, drugs and weapons inside.
Sure it full of criminals but it only takes one person with intent to do bad deeds.
If your going to harden your schools defenses/response, you need to understand the Threats, then plan to neutralize or reduce its impact. Is this going to stop a Lanza? A better planned Columbine duo, a sophisticated planner like Paddock or a truck running through the playground?
The Gov increased security from TSA check point inward but we still have attacks. In terminals and outside Air Terminals.
Those with criminal intent, may be deterred an just go for softer areas where specific or general targets congregate, wouldn't the same potential exist outside the school? Gun Free School Zones (1000 feet) doesn't allow Mom, Dad or bodyguard to legally carry a firearm in these soft areas.
Firearms. We heard some schools would allow SRO's to have "AR's in their vehicles on school grounds. Another district was considering to allow one to be secured in a container in a locked office. A remote but large school district in Idaho started arming Staff months ago due to long delays in LE response times.
Arming and properly training school staff volunteers is the most effective deterrent and response. It is not static defense and very likely more cost effective. Screen, select, background check and train unpaid volunteer Ret/Fmr Mil/LE from the Community! The Achilles Heel is Class Trips/Sporting events that cross State lines where CCW reciprocity does not exist.
Thats right, no protection if they go to the Nations Capital.
Is School Hardening just another knee jerk bandaid like the push for more gun control?
Whats next when that bandaid is torn off by another event
The Human factor+- Policy FAILED with SRO, local LE (& Chief) and the FBI. Can that be fixed 100%?
The School System FAILED, covering up Crimes with the support of local LE in pursuit of higher funding and Grants based on lower student criminality and arrest statistics. These young criminals didn't fall through the crack, they were shielded!
Someday we will see the School Systems Disciplinary Record on Cruz.
