Duress in Education
It is sad to say that in our modern school systems we are seeing the start of the need for metal detectors, security officers, CCTV systems and other certain security requirements. With the increase in violence in schools the last thing anyone wants to hear are the words “man down” when it comes to emergency situations. While there any many different ways to prevent these things from happening, it is always in the best interest of the children and staff members of schools to have some sort of technology available for a worst-case scenario. Not only is it wise to invest in a personal safety alarm in any school, but having something that can also make faculty aware of other issues and receive emergency messages for things such as severe weather warnings and local school lock-downs are extremely beneficial.
We have seen over the years the increase in violence both student on student and student on teacher and its not decreasing. It is difficult to say why and when these incidences will occur; no lone worker at a school wants to see something of this magnitude take place. There are ways to get advance notice for something happening, such as profiling students and determining behavior patterns, finding out whether they have access to weapons or asking if their friends know anything. While profiling and counseling can help reduce the threat of violence happening, there is still always a chance that someone can randomly react; having a duress alarm could be the difference between life and death, in regards to getting quick response time to emergencies. Technology has helped the modern world deal with troubling situations by providing the timely responses and information we need.
