Time and again we see school districts that are lax in providing the necessary training and procedures for protecting our youth from a growing number of individuals who wander from the mainstream and perform these heinous acts of murder and mayhem. The evidence shows that other than the development of security procedures and preventive measures, having trained and licensed security personnel who carry a firearm and are strategically placed in schools is the best way to minimize the harm that a shooter can cause. Just as fire department personnel preplan for emergencies, police and security personnel must do the same. The only deterrent to a gunman is the presence of armed responders, and that has been proven in many other locations. It's time for the public and the school districts to wake up and provide proper security for our most treasured possession, our children.
