As part of her efforts to strengthen the safety of New Hampshire’s schools and communities, Governor Maggie Hassan joined the Londonderry Police Department, local school officials and New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) Director Perry Plummer at Londonderry High School to launch a new statewide school safety initiative that enhances school emergency notification systems. The new software, COPsync911, improves communication between schools and police departments by enabling school computers to connect to and alert dispatch without going through E-911. The enhanced system will reduce response times in an emergency, sending an alert to the law enforcement officers closest to the school. “Ensuring public safety, especially for our schools and our young people, is state government’s most important responsibility,” Governor Hassan said. “This enhanced emergency notification system will improve school security, providing a real-time school threat alert solution that notifies dispatch and the closest law enforcement officers.”
