Boston News WBZ reports on Georgetown MA plan for kids to fight back : We can help

BulletBlocker products, made in Danvers MA, are designed to help with this type of planning and change the outcomes of these type of plans by providing affordable and practical bulletproof products to school safety plans and families.
The BulletBlocker staff noticed the11pm WBZ News in Boston - CBS affiliate reported that children in Georgetown are going to be taught to fight back against armed school shooting intruders. Under the story title "Schools wants to teach kids to fight back under attack - School Threat". The Georgetown MA Police Chief, Jim Mulligan, speaking on behalf of the school safety / school resource officer, stated that there is planning underway to teach the children and teachers at the Georgetown Elementary School level and up, including the Perley Elementary School, Penn Brook School and the Georgetown Middle School and Georgetown High School, to fight back against an armed intruder, much like programs being taught in Key West Florida for school defense and other locations around the country. This is also a method endorsed by SafePlans, a company that works with school systems to develop classroom safety plans and emergency response plans in the event of emergencies in schools around the country. Georgetown School Superintendent Carol Jacobs stated that the children were not going to be taught to throw their backpacks at intruders but that a fight back training method would be under review.
From BulletBlocker's review of similar plans, the method, in fact does seem to include throwing books and backpacks and the use of desks and other classroom objects as cover and/or weapons to assail an intruder so that the number of school shooting victims is minimized by stopping the attack earlier than in the Columbine attack. In fact, this is also a trend that is being accepted in the law enforcement community in general. As opposed to staging and holding the schools under siege, so to speak, law enforcement planning is shifting towards quicker confrontation of the perpetrators.
What we propose at BulletBlocker is that many of the deadly outcomes could be changed if our products were incorporated into family safety plans as well as classroom and school safety planning. If, as reported in this WBZ Boston news story, the plan is going to involve kids/students and teachers alike participating in trying to stop the attackers, why not use BulletBlocker safety products like our Bulletproof Teacher Safety Seat Cushion, or have an emergency Bulletproof Vest available for teachers and principals, like our BulletBlocker Executive vest, which stores flat and compact, but would be available to the staff and students at the moment of need. Classroom safety sould also be enhanced by our classroom safety and survival kit. Our kit comes packed in our BulletBlocker Bulletproof Backpack and includes a trauma based first aid kit as well as lock-down and shelter in place survival items such as high calorie food bars, packaged water and sanitary supplies, for those long term lock down situations. At the family level, for less than the cost of an iPod, school kids Kindergarten through college have BulletBlocker Bulletproof Backpack options. We have packs with integrated bulletproof panels, as well as small and large bulletproof panels that can be put in a pack or bag the student already uses and they effectively add a bulletproof shield to the bag or pack.
As one of the Georgetown children interviewed said, 'We are told to cover the windows with paper, but they can just smash the window and still get us.' At BulletBlocker the 3 retired deputy sheriffs that are the company founders created the backpacks and defense items to give children and teachers an added advantage in a school assault. We hopefully suggest that parents and authorities review our unique product line to see for themselves how these products could truly change the outcomes for many of these school safety and defense scenarios. Al BulletBlocker products are tested to the NIJ Threat level 3a standard, which stops up to 99% of all handgun bullets, up to and including the powerful 44 Magnum bullet.
