🏫 In recognition of #SafeSchoolsWeek, we've compiled 5 key signs it might be time to update your school’s security systems: 1. Increasing student population: More students can lead to overcrowding, making it harder to monitor activity and control access points - increasing the risk of unauthorized entry and missed incidents. 2. Changes in school safety standards: Outdated systems may not meet new safety regulations, leaving gaps in protection and increasing liability risks. 3. Lack of system integration: Siloed systems can cause delays in response times and leave areas vulnerable due to lack of coordination. 4. Campus additions or renovations: New buildings or changes to campus layout can create blind spots or areas not covered by existing security. 5. Increasing student misconduct: More incidents of misconduct such as vandalism, vaping, and student altercations can signal a need for improved technology to detect and deter unsafe behaviors. 🔒 Is your school’s security up to date?
