Description
The Multi-Media School Security Grant Program (MMSSGP) provides competitive funding to Connecticut schools for the implementation of advanced security projects that establish or enhance direct lines of communication with law enforcement and emergency responders. The program supports the deployment or integration of technologies such as cameras, radios, panic buttons, and IoT devices, provided these systems can transmit real-time alerts or information directly to law enforcement or their call centers. The overarching goal is to improve emergency response by ensuring rapid, seamless communication and information sharing between schools and first responders.
