My kids are in middle school.

When the bell at the school rings every door in the school is locked. There is a camera and automatic lock that goes to the front office.

Also, every school in my little suburb has an armed police officer in the school every single day.

Same here as far as locked entry and SRO's. At the elementary schools, there are cameras at the front entrance and you have to be buzzed in. The back entrances stay locked and are only there for emergency exits, and alarms will sound if opened. Most of the time the SRO is sitting at a desk by the entrance, except during carpool times where they are on foot outside.
