"A lot of things came into play," explained Harry C. Frisby Jr, Executive Director of Safety and Security for the Dayton Public Schools.
...
Simply put, Frisby said when ot comes to Dayton schools, its "school or no school. School or no school. That's it."

Harry Frisby, security chief for Dayton Public Schools, said Dunbar banned red and black T-shirts because they started seeing large groups of students coming to school wearing those colors.The color of a T-shirt can be viewed as a gang membership card.

"The principal felt it was a safety issue," said Frisby, who spent 20 years as a Cincinnati police officer and detective before a 10-year stint as security chief for Cincinnati Public Schools.

Police say even local gangs have their own colors: black and white for Dope Boy Mafia, black for GVC and red for Diamond Cut.Frisby said some students layer themselves with multiple colored T-shirts, peeling one off when in a certain part of town.

"Young people really miss the point of how dangerous gangs are," Frisby said.

It was that type of information Harry Frisby, head of security for the Cincinnati Public Schools, was thrilled to get.

"They have opened up our eyes tenfold," said Frisby, who is responsible for more than 60 schools in the Cincinnati system.

He said officials in Cincinnati have been working to make their buildings secure.

"Access controls is one of my biggest concerns," Frisby said."How do you lock a school down?"

As Frisby walked across the campus, he kept pointing out cameras, noticing their placement and using that to give him ideas for how to better place them in his own schools.
