Why does it take a tragedy or a close call for us to react to guns in our school system.  An 8^th grader at Highlands Intermediate School in Honolulu found a gun behind the school gym.  He was showing the firearm to some friends when one of them pushed it away, and that is when the weapon discharged.  The bullet hit the wall, ricocheted, than broke into pieces that struck another student, according to police.

Although no one was severely hurt, a school board meeting was held to discuss safety precautions and security procedures in the event of riots, bomb threats, terrorist attacks or guns on campus. Fortunately, you can be a part on implementing two way radios throughout your school system to keep your children safe.  Attend your school board meetings, talk to them, bring up your concerns that now is the time to act, not after a lose or injury of a student.

Are you an administrator, teacher or parent? Inquire about your schools security plan to make sure you have a system in place with two-way radios. 2wayradiodirect.com offers several different options to meet your needs.  Highland Intermediate Schools is revising their security readiness and action plan, implementing two way radios and preparing for the next emergency they hope never comes.

“Imagine a NASCAR race in which there was no driver-crew communication and no spotters.  Then, add a massive field of 97 cars.

The resultant chaos must have prodded Al Stevens to come up with notion of communicating with this crew via radio and using spotters in a 1952 NASCAR race at Daytona’s 4.1 mile beach/road course.

Until then, there were no spotters and teams communicated with drivers by scribbling short messages on chalkboards and holding them out for the driver to see as he roared along the frontstretch.

Enter Stevens.  Aside from being a part-time racer, Steven owned a radio-dispatched wrecker service in Palm Beach, FL.  Studying the Motorola field radios he used for his business, he decided to install one in his race car, put one in the pits with his crew and gave two more to spotters on the north and south turns.

Steven didn’t win the race, but with the help of the radios-one of which is on display in the NASCAR Hall of Fame - he avoided a lot of trouble.

Today, no team would dream of taking the track without radios and spotters, yet Steven’s idea didn’t catch on until the 1960s.”
