Police1 wrote an article about the unique benefits of the GC Shield, highlighting what makes the shields suitable for school protection.
“It really just gives students and teachers a fighting chance,” said Delaney. “It’s easy to implement into the active-shooter training they do all the time. We teach ‘run, hide or fight’ now, and it addresses all three – evacuation, sheltering, and then if a gun jam or a shooter stops to reload, the shield is so light, you can take the opportunity and strike them with it. The shield can also be used to confine the shooter on the ground.“
