Mine's a Crimson Trace laser in green which is preferred for interventions during daylight vs. a red laser dot. That's what it means to most of us old timers. For what you're talking about, an old idea with a new "hook" to help focus on violence prevention. You'll find over time, these hooks come and go, but the notion of paying attention to knocking violence down some way or another will continue. The premise is not a new thing. Just repackaged in an eco-friendly manner.

Since I've never heard of this, as with several others who have commented, would have to guess that it hasn't been very successful so far.

Ok, I'm a dip shit; thought this was about training on the green laser sights or a tag for a new brand of laser to use in bystander intervention of active shooter incidents. But no it's another gimic for more mandatory training to eat up the training calendar.

never heard of this but it sounds like more mandatory training in the future for me (not like I don't have enough already)
