An overwhelming majority (96%) of parents in the United States support a mandate requiring schools to share security cameras with 911 Communications Centres during emergencies, according to a survey of K-12 parents. A federal mandate was preferred by 56% of parents, 29% wanted a community-level requirement, and 11% favoured a school district mandate. 

Camera Sharing is a new technology that gives Emergency Communication Centre telecommunicators (911 professionals) instant access to security cameras during an emergency, empowering them to deliver critical incident information to first responders. As the election draws near, both Democrats (93%) and Republicans (91%) agree tax dollars should be allocated to fund the activation of camera-sharing technology in K-12 schools.
