What Do Texas Schools Think About Armed Drones for Security?
- Texas school districts inquired about using drones for security purposes to respond to potential threats like active shooters, but are uninterested in arming drones with non-lethal weapons.
- Boerne Independent School District and Highland Park ISD are investigating drone-based security programs to enhance existing security measures.
- Both districts view drones as tools to provide situational awareness to officers and assist in responding to threats more effectively.
- Campus Guardian Angel offers services deploying drones armed with 'less lethal effects,' but districts aim to use drones for intelligence gathering rather than weapon deployment.
- A bill in the state House of Representatives proposes allowing districts to substitute armed officers with drone-based security systems in Texas schools.
- However, officials emphasize that drones would complement, not replace, human security officers due to the need for a visible presence on school campuses.
- Drones would be used as needed to provide intelligence to law enforcement during emergency situations, enhancing safety for officers and students.
- The final decision on adopting drone security systems rests with the respective school districts' boards of trustees after evaluation and consideration of the technology's capabilities.
- The districts are exploring ways to leverage drones for security while upholding safety measures, recognizing the potential benefits in enhancing response capabilities.
- The evaluation process includes developing understanding and agreements with security companies, ensuring proper integration of drones within existing security frameworks.
