More Worcester School Security Upgrades Ahead

SNOW HILL — Expanding on the initial steps taken last year, the Worcester County Commission unanimously approved funding for a second phase of school security upgrades this week.

Last year the county decided to employ armed School Resource Officers (SRO) in its schools under the purview of the Sheriff’s Department. Other security measures like ID scanners and buzzer systems were also added at that time. The upgrades requested this year are a natural evolution from that, according to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson.

“As you can see with this request mostly what we see here are security cameras, we see security systems, upgraded security systems and communications systems,” he said.
