Delaware schools to install bank-like panic buttons

Published 18 June 2013

Delaware lawmakers want schools across the state to install panic buttons similar to those in banks. House Bill 33, sponsored by Rep. Joseph Miro (R-Pike Creek), would require every Delware school to have an alarm system that school staff could trigger to alert law enforcement to a potential threat in the school. “There are certainly tactical situations where you can’t get to a landline or use a cellphone,” said Lewis Schilirohe, Delaware Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security.
