Lake County students return to school in 17 days. The district is promising additional safety measures by the time the first bell rings. The district is using upgraded technology to get law enforcement to campus faster in the event of an emergency. "Reduce minutes and seconds in response times," said Joseph Mabry, Director of Safety and Security. It's had a panic alert system for the last six years, but there were multiple steps before emergency crews were sent out.
The two companies behind these safety upgrades say this is the first district in the nation to utilize the partnership.The dual technology starts working together as soon as a staff member initiates the alert. Once the panic button is pressed, strobe lights go off in the school to alert staff that there is an emergency. There is also an intercom and computer lockdown. The system also sends an immediate 911 call, and law enforcement has access to security cameras.
