CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – BridgeValley Community and Technical College has announced they have received a $400,000 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) award to support the implementation of a Gunshot Detection System.
The Fiscal Year 2024 CDS request was submitted by Senator Shelley Moore Capito and Senator Joe Manchin.
The Gunshot Detection System will enable BridgeValley CTC to collaborate more effectively with external entities, including local law enforcement and fire departments, by providing real-time alerts and precise information on possible gunfire incidents.
With strategically positioned sensors and a robust notification platform, this system will enable swift responses and proactive measures to ensure the safety of all occupants.
“We are thrilled to receive this $400,000 Congressionally Directed Spending award in support of our Gunshot Detection System,” said Casey Sacks, President of BridgeValley Community and Technical College.
“This investment exemplifies the commitment of Senators Capito and Manchin to our community’s safety and reinforces our shared dedication to creating a secure learning environment.”
BridgeValley CTC extended its appreciation to Senators Capito and Manchin for their efforts in securing funding for this critical initiative.
