Snipers - Thermal Sensors - Quadcopters - Time to change campus security.
Security experts lay out parameter security measures for Universities and Schools under threat from terrorism.
All Universities or Schools deemed under threat by Intelligence services must be protected by Snipers & Sharp Shooters armed with thermal range finders during study hours. We were able to prevent a great number of casualties during BKU attack because the terrorists were tracked, engaged and neutralized by Snipers. Further casualties can be prevented if the attackers are engaged upon entering the premises or beyond the boundary wall.
The university security forces should be trained to work in coordination with the Snipers. The campus security should have quad-copters (Not very expensive to buy) for remotely monitoring the outside parameter of the campus for possible infiltration points and to support the security forces to swiftly track, designate, engage and neutralize the infiltrators BEFORE they can reach the campus buildings.
Mock drills should be coordinated with the students and staff so they know what to do in a crisis situation like we experienced at BKU campus. The students, staff, campus security and Police should have a SINGLE training program so their response is in a coordinated manner instead of a disorderly manner which tactically suits the attackers.
These measures do not guarantee zero casualties during such attacks but they do ensure that our casualties are reduced while the casualties for attackers are swift and decisive. Engaging the attackers upon entering the campus slows them down which buys more time for SSG to arrive on the scene to dispatch them to hell.
