About this Article

Cameras and boom microphones took over a second-floor area of Woodland Middle School in Gurnee for a safety video production that featured students, teachers and local police. It'll be geared for school employees who didn't receive formal training about lockdown procedures. “I think we're going to find that there's many, many school districts that have a need for this,” crime prevention technician Tom Agos said.
