In a few days, millions of students will return to the classroom after spending the summer away. It’s an exciting time, but parents and educators might feel anxious knowing all the things that can go wrong on school grounds. There’s never a guarantee that crime will be prevented, but creating a comprehensive security strategy regarding back-to-school safety significantly decreases the risk of crime and creates much-needed peace of mind. Schools have the power to prepare for the worst while expecting the best. Investing in security measures is a small step that makes a big difference in the long run.
Access Control
Access control is a crucial product for anyone concerned with back-to-school safety. Unlocked doors and entryways at a school can, unfortunately, result in tragedy, and entrances must be protected. Access control allows you to manage who’s allowed in the building.
Security Cameras
Security cameras are a powerful deterrent to would-be wrongdoers. It doesn’t matter whether the intended behavior is relatively harmless, like skipping a class, or serious, like committing a crime. Security cameras allow you to track it and sound the alarm if something is wrong.
Fire Alarms
Schools are legally required to have fire alarms, and you must find a fire security provider who can install a functional system that will set off alarms when there’s a fire risk. A school’s fire plan is only as good as its fire alarms. If they don’t operate correctly, it can mean disaster.
