Considering it typically takes 3-5 minutes before someone dials 9-1-1 , the results of an uninterrupted active shooter is extremely devastating in a very brief period .
Given the rapid devastation an active shooter causes , one of the most important strategies to employ when building an active shooter response plan is a mechanism for immediate , factual recognition of gunshots and simultaneous alerting to a shooting in progress to reduce response time and save lives .
The second key factor for both first responders and those directly affected by the threat is arming them with immediate , dependable , and actionable information .
Christian Connors , SDS CEO
“ In light of last week ’ s tragic school shooting , we are proud to be able to work with this University to protect their students and faculty by providing police with critical information for rapid response to a shooting event ,” explains Christian Connors , SDS Chief Executive Officer .
“ Within a few seconds of the shot , this system will send live video feeds of the incident directly to Campus Police allowing them to immediately identify the shooter and help rapidly bring the event to a close .”
Instant notification of where shots were fired , a description of the shooter , and the shooter ’ s direction offers the situational awareness necessary to make lifesaving decisions in the face of chaos .
For Law Enforcement this allows for faster , informed response to swiftly respond and mitigate the threat , taking time away from the shooter .
This information is equally important for building occupants so they can make the best decisions possible to save their own lives .
ISO Networks , a Certified SDS Partner since 2014 , will install the sensors , perform the technology integration , and support the Guardian System for the University .
It is an unfortunate fact that mass shootings by disturbed individuals , lone wolf or terror attacks are a reality of modern life around the world .
The goal of these attacks is to do as much damage to as many people as quickly as possible .
According to the ALICE Training Institute , most active shooter cases last just five to seven minutes with a person killed every 5-15 seconds .
