Lower the Active Shooter Threat with ASR Alert Systems Patented Technology

The active shooter threat has increased significantly in recent years. The National Sheriff’s Association reported that the average duration of a mass shooting is 12.5 minutes and the average response time of the police is 18 minutes. One of the major factors in the impact of a mass shooting is the amount of time the event is allowed to continue. Every minute an active shooter is able to engage their target results in more injuries and deaths.

This threat can be countered using the state-of-the-art alert system inside ASR technologies. ASR Alert Systems directly notify Law Enforcement and First Responders, lowering the response time and sending the efforts directly to the threat. Once the threat alert button is pressed by the client, the ASR system initiates action and recovery efforts. This has a major impact on suppressing the situation and can disrupt the plans of the active shooter, which could save countless lives. 

How the Santa Fe Shooting could have been mitigated with ASR Technology

The Santa Fe Shooting was the third deadliest shooting behind the Columbine and Stoneman Douglas High School shootings. Eight students and two teachers were shot and killed, and an additional 13 people were injured. The Galveston County Sheriff reported that law enforcement officers engaged the suspect within four minutes, but the shooting lasted around 25 minutes before the shooter was apprehended. Every minute in a mass shooting has the potential to end countless lives.

A solution to the time challenge posed by the Santa Fe Shooting is ASR technologies. ASR Alert Systems feature a state-of-the-art threat notification system that communicates directly with Law Enforcement and First Responders. ASR Alert Systems not only notify First Responders, but they provide the exact location of the victims so that the threat can be handled in the fastest possible manner. While no system can eliminate the active shooter threat completely, ASR Alert Systems provide a strong response to incidents like the Santa Fe Shooting.

How ASR Alert Systems Can Realize Alyssa’s Law

Alyssa’s Law was passed in Florida following the Stoneman Douglas High school shooting in February 2018. The law mandates that all schools in FL must install a silent alarm that communicates directly with Law Enforcement, and compliance with the law is required starting with the 2021-2022 academic year. Alyssa’s law has also been passed in New Jersey and proposed in several other states including New York and Nebraska.

A solution to the mandated communication system is ASR technologies. ASR Alert Systems feature state-of-the-art notifications directly to Law Enforcement and First Responders. When the threat button is pressed, first responders are not only able to get on scene as fast as possible but they are provided with the exact location of the threat. The Stoneman Douglas Shooting was the second worst school shooting in American history, but Alyssa’s Law and ASR Alert Systems can help make our schools safe again and give Law Enforcement the tools needed to save lives.
