Security Strategies for Preventing Active Shooter Events

Active shooter events are an undeniable part of today’s school experience for students and staff. It is important to use preventative measures and cross-train staff annually in emergency response and preparations if a situation arises on your campus. Part of your security measures on your Harlinger, TX campus should be installing a video surveillance security system and gunshot detection. 

At Circle Industries, we specialize in installing video surveillance cameras and other security systems. These systems, along with access control, can be used to grant or deny permissions based on access control zones and allow footage to be accessed by law enforcement when necessary.

School Security Measures in Active Shooter Events

On December 6, 2023, three people were killed and another critically injured in a shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The incident occurred at UNLV’s Lee Business School, where the gunman was taken down by two university police officers before more students or staff could be injured. This marks 392 active shooter events in schools since Columbine and 200 mass shootings this year in the U.S. 

In the case of UNLV, and according to The Washington Post, the university sent out a campus alert via mobile phones that shots were heard and a subsequent warning urging students and staff to “evacuate to a safe place. RUN-HIDE-FIGHT.” 

On November 3, a student was shot and killed in Indianapolis. About one week earlier, four students were shot and injured in Baltimore. In September, a 14-year-old student shot and killed one student and wounded two others in Greensburg, LA. And the list goes on, with the latest Texas shooting occurring in Arlington’s Lamar High School, where one student was killed and another injured. 

While the debate rages regarding how to keep people safe as a nation, schools are left to their own devices. The following represent some of the security measures districts in Harlingen, TX, are taking to help protect students and staff.
