Students design tech solution for SWAT team
Maxwell High School of Technology students are helping to keep members of the Gwinnett County SWAT team safe by designing a new camera mount.
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Some young innovators in Gwinnett County have come up with a solution to make area SWAT members safer while on duty.
Students at Maxwell High School of Technology have designed a camera mount for the Lilburn Police Department’s SWAT team.
The city uses a barrel style camera which couldn’t mount to the team member’s helmets without interfering with their hearing protection.
One of the SWAT team members is a graduate of Maxwell and decided to take the problem to them.
The students quickly took up the task of finding a solution to the problem.
They ended up designing new mounts that can be attached to the helmets.
The new pieces can be created using a 3D printer.
