Every School in America Needs This

In one simple move, an entire campus can be alerted to an intruder and placed in emergency lockdown status while the police are notified of a possible incident. Similar to fire alarm systems, school intruder systems can be installed in these high-profile buildings. I was able to wire up and program this blue "POLICE" pull station to a custom audio message using fire alarm parts. The technology for this already exists, do you think we should be using more of it?

My school actually has a system like this, but it's different. There's a button in every room that calls the front desk for normal reasons. But one push if for the front desk, three pushes are for an administrator, and if you push it too many times it triggers a lockdown that goes through every speaker. I learned this during a test run.

It's sad how they're actually really needed. The school I went to never actually had an intruder or anything in its entire lifetime I believe, with the only lockdowns being medical ones. I'm actually surprised cause I believe it was one of the largest in my region. However, Toronto is really close to me, and they aren't so lucky.

[@siphonralarms9411]

A lot of schools in my area have integrated such systems within the past 2 years. I know of an Elementary School (which I attended from Kindergarten to 2nd grade) has an STI push station in the front office that activates the PA system. There’s also several blue strobe lights on the exterior of the building that will flash when that system is set off. And for anyone who’s wondering about the fire alarm system there: it’s a Notifier NFS2-640 (replaced an AFP-400). It has Notifier BGX-101L pull stations (newer areas have NBG-12LX models) under stoppers. The smoke detectors are newer addressable Notifier detectors (they use to be Notifier branded addressable System Sensor 2424s). The alarms are Wheelock ET1010 speaker/strobes (very rare) though there some have been replaced by System Sensor SPSW Advances (there’s also an L Series speaker/strobe now). Some areas have Wheelock AS horn/strobes and RSS remote strobes that were put in back in the early 2000’s.

[@MichanaAlerting]

My school does something similar to this! The system is Simplex speaker strobes that play 500hz continuous for fire, separate voice messages for lockdowns and tornado warnings, and slow whoop for earthquakes. In all emergencies it also overrides the PA so it's quite audible. The only thing is it doesn't have any pull stations for other emergencies, just fire.

[@Gatorz_Gaming]

Same but they don’t have the fire pannel to support tornado warnings and stuff, it just yells at you to evacuate the building

[@JaPlays69420]

At every school in my district, there were lockdown alarms throughout the school that would flash when a lockdown was activated. The main office could activate a lockdown or a person outside the cafeteria or gym could activate it using an STI lockdown push station.

[@richpumphrey2048]

I agree 100 percent that all schools should have emergency notification systems for intrudars especially with all the mass shootings in schools that have taken place across the country. If there’s a way you could help to have people sign a patition to make into law these types of systems, that would be truly great, and more childrens’ lives can be saved from being shot by evil doers in this world. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them very much.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Mass notification system systems are actually required in schools nowadays. With alert strobes and LOCs in the vestibule or at the front desk. I’ve never seen one with those pull stations yet, but, I’m sure they exist. These systems are incredibly useful in todays world. Nice video!!!

Our school had three alarms Fire Tonado School out for Sat & sun

[@mbcommandnerd]

I’ve never had to experience a real lockdown while I was in school-thank goodness-but we did have several “Hold-In-Places” (basically just staying in your current room until told otherwise-INCLUDING ignoring the bell if it rings) due to medical emergencies. Those weren’t too bad, though. And of course, we also had the usual fire drills. We DID do lockdown drills, however, and they were always initiated via a manual announcement over the PA. I was never lucky enough to witness one of these systems working in person, unfortunately. But despite the lack of a lockdown alarm system, my middle and high schools had other systems in place that worked just as well. They had automatic electronic locks that would engage as soon as the first bell rang, locking all the outside doors to anyone who doesn’t have an RFID badge. And the only way to get in without a badge was to ring the doorbell at the main entrance, which had a camera and an intercom that someone in the main office could use to see who’s at the door and have them verbally identify themselves. They also had what they call a “mantrap” at the main entrance, which consists of two sets of doors-one on the outside of the building and one inside, with a roughly eight foot gap between them. The inner doors were ALWAYS locked whenever those e-locks were engaged-no exceptions-while the outer ones could be unlocked via a badge or by the main office staff. On the side wall of the gap was the door to the main office, so while school was in session, the only way to enter the building was through the main office. Otherwise, you’d be stuck between the two sets of doors until someone found you. It was a very effective system, I must say!

All the schools in Georgia use a company named CENTEGIX. It gives every staff a button that if they press it more than 7 times the whole building goes into lockdown. It calls the police and sends the location of the person who pressed the button. They install strobes and new locks. Also if you press it 3 times it’s sends the location to administration saying there is a medical emergency. It’s helpful just really scary that you might cause the building to go on lockdown. It has already happened twice at the high school a block down.

My school just uses the PA for lockdowns (one drill done in my life), and for evacuating, three sequences of three bell and siren each (played at the same time, the bell for inside and the siren for outside, which was used for the change of classes before the PA was installed, where they play music (popular songs) instead of the bell to indicate start or end of periods). For normal period endings, it is just a long steady tone. Plus, they are manual bells operated by the entrance control.

My school had an entire system installed 2 years ago, we just had our second official Blue Point lockdown drill last week where these have a recorded voice message similar to how this sounded, we had to barricade the doors with tables and chairs, lock all doors, and do the casual turn off the lights and hide, and the school brings actual police officers to check to make sure each an every room or classroom is secure. The pre recorded voice messages is played over the PA speakers on repeat until the drill or threat is over. There are a few SpectrAlert Advances painted blue and are strobe only that will flash in certain rooms like the cafeteria, the Gym, weight training class, and outside. There's at least one or 2 strobes located near the office area and another one near the auditorium. The pull stations used a BG-12s and are also painted blue similar to the National Time pull station in this video, there are covers placed on every single pull station including the pulls that go to the fire alarm systems which mainly consists of Gentex Commander 2's and 3's all around the school which use National Time pull stations. Side Note: We also have a bomb and a drug sniffing dog that checks around the school everyday, we also got a new district officer who's taking the place over our old one. After the Oxford incident in 2021 which was about 46 minutes away from my High School or so which isn't super far away, we've had rare instances where people will make a false threat as a joke. We've only had 1 real false bomb threat that was hand written by sticky note by the art teacher of the middle school in my district whom Was my art teacher before High School.

There is one major flaw with this, you are alerting the intruder that you are aware of them. Schools use bells because they can convey much more information to the students while the intruder will just hear what to them is just a normal bell. My elementary school had many different bells for different situations, whatever message the school wanted to convey to the students could be conveyed to every student in seconds, while an intruder would only hear what sounds like a normal bell for school. If we needed to shelter in place there was one bell pattern, if we needed to run away from the school there was a different bell pattern, and if we needed to run into the school there was another bell pattern. There were several more, but those were the big ones.

While it's good to have a system that lets people know of a particular emergency (as in this isn't just _any_ emergency this is a shooter!) it's all important to have the means to defend against such an emergency. So I would recommend following the implementation of this system up with armed teachers which serve as good back up in relation to the armed school resource officers. Also as soon as people hear this particular alarm that would be a signal for the armed teachers to lock and load so to speak to take on the shooter. So yes I support the implementation of this alarm, I just suggest the implementation of armed teachers too.

Why would We need it

[@MrMohammedAdyanRahmanCho-tt8mj]

@@toasterhavingabath6980 Because we don’t want kids to die from any murder or robber sneaking into school

[@bigboy8285]

thats a mess of wires. besides that, kids are gonna have fun pulling that one unlike fire alarms that only require u to walk outside, evvery class would have to barricade themselfs in their class.
