This is a response. I guess it's something you can do. But it doesn't seem like it's going to help much - it will have so many false positives cause kids, but not really be accessible in an emergency.

Like seems like a feel good measure. I guess it’s happening anyway so hopefully it helps.

I'm wonder how much this would actually reduce response times. Panic button in a room full of teenagers will lead to a ton of false alarms. Police departments will pobably still need to be called by someone before they roll the entire department towards a school.
