Andrew Pollack spoke with Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo this week to discuss how American schools can increase public safety through faster access to life-saving tools.

“You’re working with a company that’s coming up with alternative weapons -not firearms- for teachers,” said Pags. “You’re also giving out backpacks that give law enforcement everything they need to keep a school safe.”

“We all know that seconds save lives. If something is going on in a building, I don’t want any agency to have an excuse to run to their trunk. This gives them the ability to carry an AR on them,” explained Pollack.

“It shaves minutes off response time in a mass shooting situation,” he added.
