Mahopac students are returning to class with additional security measures in place this morning, as Carmel police have integrated key fob technology to ensure swift access in case of emergencies within the schools.

The new security system utilizes electronic access technology embedded in key cards, allowing police personnel to enter the school premises promptly during critical situations.

This implementation aims to eliminate unnecessary delays in responding to emergency calls.

Mahopac schools recently conducted a lockdown drill to assess and test the effectiveness of the newly integrated systems. Collaboration between the Carmel Police Department and the Carmel School District highlights a concerted effort to prioritize the safety and security of students and staff.
