SHELBY COUNTY (Sept. 8, 2014) – An Indiana high school was chosen to be the first in the country to get a revolutionary security system to thwart school shootings.
Southwestern High School was handpicked by the Indiana Sheriff’s Association to be armed with the new technology, which networks the school with local law enforcement.
“I think that Newtown, Sandy Hook, really made people understand, made us all understand this could happen to us," said Dr. Paula Maurer, superintendent of Southwestern Consolidated Schools. “Now is the time to do something about it. We have some answers. We have the technology. We have ways to make our kids safer and we have to do it.”
The story of their new and advanced security system began with Montgomery County Deputy Sheriff Mike Kersey. Like many in law enforcement, Kersey was looking for better ways to protect the public, especially children."
