Baltimore City Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld speaks to reporters in the Charles Village area about the new Secures gunshot protection system, which uses sensor technology to pinpoint the location of gunshots and immediately relay them to the university's Homewood Communications Center and then to city police for quick response. The truckload of sand awaits test firing of weapons. The safety system, which is installed in an area that includes the Homewood campus, was donated to Johns Hopkins by the developer of the technology, Planning Systems Inc. of Reston, Va. The system is now live.
