So, today we had this training at college what to do if a shooter comes, and the police demonstrated how everybody can get to safety...we even have a new system with a code word and a robotic voice, really high-tech.

 

So, what about the place where you spend your time, is it guarded and do you think it is safe?

We have unarmed guards at our college campus. But my school has a police academy and if you have your concealed carriers license you can have a weapon on you. It's kind of a weird setup. We have 15 emergency button post (900,000). Also we have strong doors and defensively built classrooms.

Well, in my school there is totaly no guards or whatever, (in The Netherlands)  But we have a police station at about 500M, but there not always officers in there. So basicly said shooters were dead XD 

[Handsup!]

We have a team of around 10 overweight security guards whose main duties are to enforce campus ID badges.

 

I suppose it'd stop any flow of unruly characters provided they didn't leave one of the entrances completely exposed.

my school has me, whats really good, you know, i can protect them all xD

About 10 unarmed (and awesome) security guards, but also a police and fire station about 3 minutes away. Security's pretty tight, not everyone has access to our facilities, so it would be very unlikely for something like that to happen.

Security got "up'ed" in schools in early 2000's after the Dunblane massacre although it's not guards all entrances are locked and some being thick metal doors all needing a keycard to open however at newer schools for example my old school almost all doors throughout the building need a keycard.

We have unarmed men and women as a security who has access to a wide variety of vehicles with lightbars

Thats not true. They used to be unarmed but they are not anymore. They have MP5s aswell as Glock 17. The MP5s stay in their vehicles while the Glock is in their belt. But they are not allowed to use it unless the commander in the field gives the green light.

 

But my university (and all others I've been to) has no protection what so ever. So you are probably right about the "prety fked if something happends................." part.

Sorry to reply to an older thread/post, but I'm guessing if a school shooting was to happen, and an officer had eyeball on the perp who was still shooting kids, could he fire upon him without authorization?

In norway the police needs to call in to the police chief  if they go to a call that is reported armed guy but if someones shot at Norwegian police they hould have premission to fire at them back.

[youdotoo]

Oh.... my college allows concealed carriers. A lot of people have guns on campus.

Usually if they are responding to an active shooter they get permissions to use fire arms pretty easy.

But what I mean is if they were already on scene. As if they had no time to call for auth, etc

Well you are pretty rigth there but if the shoter shots at inno pepole or the police i think they ar allowed to shot back.

If one wants to do harm he can and will. Security won't help imo, and barely as a deterrent. They merely create a false sense of security. A determined and prepared shooter will take out the poorly trained guard(s) first and continue to spread maham. Responding police officers usually have to abide by the protocol to contain the situation (a perimeter) rather then intervene immediatly. Only specialized police units will intervene by engaging the shooter and that unfortunately takes a while. Enjoy the remaining time in school living in constant -and well maintained- fear. If ya'll want to enjoy the perks of the (imo immensively outdated) 2nd Amendment you gotta live with the consequences too. Freedom comes with a price and shootings will continue to happen, it is what it is.

Not really, unless its self-defense obviously. Responding police have to contain the situation by setting up a perimeter. Specialized police units like swat or hrt will actively engage the shooter(s).
