AP News: School shootings prompt more states to fund digital maps for first responders
Jeremy Gulley, PASS’ Board and Advisory Council Member, was recently quoted in an Associated Press article discussing school shootings. With the increase in school emergencies, many schools have adopted digital map technology that allows first responders quick access to review the effected building and respond effectively.
Below is an excerpt from the article.
“If it’s not integrated with a crisis response system that can be pushed electronically to the dispatch center and police, then it’s probably not going to mean anything to them in the first minutes,” said Jeremy Gulley, the school system superintendent of Jay County, Indiana, which uses a Centegix mapping and alert system.
