Suggestions that contribute to stopping weapons, drugs and other contraband from being snuck onto school grounds and into schools:
- Stop and frisk.
- Metal detectors at main entrance. No entry or exit except through main entrance unless emergency. - Alarms on all doors.
- Armed officers and or teachers with the appropriate training, licensing and of course voluntary.
- Safe rooms, hardened class rooms, panic buttons. Safe barriers. There is such a thing as bullet resistant wall panes (dry wall). The term bullet resistant is used only because it won't defeat calibers like that of a .50 BMG intended to penetrate mild armor.
Protecting our children's rights is paramount, however, hundreds of minors housed in a single facility with limited supervision in todays environment require additional measures to keep them and all staff safe.
Food for thought: Criminals generally don't rob known cop bars, police stations, military bases and similar. Why? Because they know their odds of success and even surviving are slim.
