Mass Shootings: Schools Now Target-Harden Campuses
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Target-hardening at schools has been a hot topic in the United States, especially as mass shootings continue and school administrators take on a more active role in security.
Schools started adding bulletproof windows and desks, stronger locks on doors, alarm systems that directly communicate with law enforcement, and artificial intelligence (AI) enabled camera systems, among other target hardening techniques. They have conducted drills and established better emergency response plans.

AI (artificial intelligence) video security cameras with built-in analytics interpret scenes, monitor risks, and alerts security to threats.
