"Nothing has changed since Sandy Hook." We’ve heard it many times, but that's simply not true. Several families united to launch Sandy Hook Promise the month after the tragic school shooting. Since then, we have successfully written and driven the passage of 3 federal laws under 3 administrations. And our SAVE Promise Clubs are now the largest student-led anti-violence organization in America. Read on for more life-saving changes and join us to continue making progress by texting PROMISE to 79775. #HonorWithAction #NeverForget #ProtectOurKids #EndGunViolence #SandyHookPromise

It’s about time that every American school system district begin planning for casualty, mitigation, and a safety net warning system prior to the acts being able to be carried out by any individual. A gunshot detection system like EAGL Technology offers, extra modules that could be added to detect a weapon in a CCTV image in the parking lot before they even get near the building. It can detect, aggressive behavior, and interpreted movements as an individual approaches a facility It works in tandem with existing CCTV. I can send out a lockdown alert, secure facility doors and isolate the individual either before they entered the building or once they have gotten inside to minimize casualties. Every school system across the country should be looking at this type of a system and save our kids! #EAGL #SchoolShootings #saveourchildren #ActiveShooter #StopTheMadness #SchoolShootings #americancentralforceprotection
The shooter is a 14 year old student. These school shootings continue to play out every day without let up. Don’t let denial or lack of budget stop you from protecting our most valuable asset; our children. We have grant writers and financing available. Scale in an active shooter response solution starting at as little as $75 per month. #schoolsecurity #schoolshootings #activeshooterthreat #k12 #stopthemadness Chuck Freiberg Douglas Palmer Justina Merriweather Fritz John Eixman III Steve Surfaro Jennifer Russell, Co Founder SVP CSO Chuck Harold https://lnkd.in/eDzvmSBk

When talking about safety, there are a few things that society undoubtedly considers especially vulnerable. The top 1 is children's safety. The value of a child's life is higher than ever and therefore highly protected. On the other hand, the number of school shootings is increasing every year. The place where children spend more time than at home and which should be the most protected is becoming more and more endangered by gun shootings. Read more about this sad events and factors contributing to school shootings in this article. #telegrafia #publicwarning #earlywarning #warningsystem #safetyfirst #childsafety #childrensafety #schoolshootings #shooting #massacre

"There have been 394 school shootings since Columbine, impacting more than 360,000 students who have experienced gun violence at school. It defies reality to argue that schools haven’t undergone significant hardening since Columbine, and it misses the point that schools have become safer, more secure places at the same time school shootings have become more numerous and deadly. Gun violence doesn’t originate at the schoolhouse door, and it won’t be solved there. Our policy making and political rhetoric urgently need to reflect that reality. Instead, elected officials have made communities less safe by under-funding social spending and school programming that contributes to community health and safety while expanding access and availability of firearms."

Absolutely, 100 percent worth the read for this in-depth discussion Mark Follman shares regarding our epidemic of targeted violence and community victims. Prevention is a holistic event; one we must share across entities and with all communities and environments. The truth of the matter is that when one has effective processes, when people know the answer to the question of, “Now, what do we do?” it is a giant step towards making behavioral threat assessment, and all of the other prevention options discussed within this article, a true reality. That’s how we begin saving lives across the world in greater, expansive numbers. The repetitive horrific tragedies upon which this information is built are ones that should have never occurred if we were truly using threat assessment (and most importantly threat management) as it is designed (to help create inhibitors to violence) across the nation. It will never be enough, but our hearts go out to all who have been lost in another’s pursuit of personal peace by way of violence. All we can do is to honor them through the work we have in front of us.
The devastation at Sandy Hook was 11 years ago today. My thoughts are with the families and other survivors. What they went through was an important part of what compelled me to investigate America's rise in mass shootings — and to focus for a long time since on what more we can do as a society to prevent these tragedies. It's a complex and distressing problem, but despite the heavy subject matter, I see this as hopeful, constructive, and very much an ongoing story. https://lnkd.in/eJfUkDyu #threatassessment #gunviolenceprevention
