Daily News | New Jersey to create digital maps of all school buildings to help first responders
“With the epidemic of gun violence reaching every part of our communities, including our schools, we offer our families not empty promises, but concrete investments in tools and resources that will keep our students safe,” Murphy said in a statement.
Around 1,500 schools have already been mapped, officials said. The new initiative will cover the remaining schools. The New Jersey State Police and the state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness will contract with an outside vendor to assist with the mapping. Local law enforcement will then conduct annual walkthroughs to ensure the maps are accurate and up-to-date.
State Sen. Joseph Lagana said in a statement: “Given the rise in school shootings around the country, it is paramount that, in addition to having among the strongest gun safety laws in the nation and bolstering mental health services, we also do all we can to protect our students through providing law enforcement and first responders with every available tool that could help save lives.”
