In 2021, there have been 24 school shootings across the U.S., resulting in 34 people injured and six people killed. Four of these incidents were in Texas. 

On June 9, a stray bullet injured a student after people from two vehicles exchanged gunfire at North Forest High School in Houston, TX. In October, three shootings occurred. 

Another one occurred in Houston when a former student shot through a glass door to gain entry to YES Prep Southwest Secondary and shot the principal. In addition, at Timberview High School, in Arlington, two people were shot when a school fight broke out, and at East Chambers High School in Winnie, a student at a football game was shot and injured. 

These statistics serve as a reminder that protecting our students and staff in schools should be a top priority not only in Houston, Richmond, and throughout Texas but throughout the country. The truth is that school shootings are more common than school fires. Yet, every school has some form of fire detection device. In today's environment, more schools choose to utilize a gunshot detection system to help protect their students and staff.

The effects of a still relentless pandemic continue to hamper supply chains around the world. From lockdowns that slow the flow of finished goods and raw material to labor shortages that delay manufacturing, the end of our current crisis seems slow to materialize. 

Unfortunately, the disruption to the global supply chain may get worse before it gets any better. As demand continues to increase, worker shortages, the delay in obtaining critical components for production, and transportation challenges have continued to result in a supply chain crisis, affecting the fire detection system in Pearland, TX, and around the world. Which is why, if you’re interested in installing or upgrading your system, you should get your project scheduled ASAP. 

Protecting your business from the multitude of threats facing your facilities and personnel every day requires a trusted partner. Whether you manage a shipping facility, oil and gas services, or a retail mall, you must remain vigilant against fire, theft, and vandalism. You can rest assured with a comprehensive system.
