Layered Security for School Safety The increase in school shootings has gripped communities across the United States. Parents, educators, school boards, and policymakers are doing all possible to protect against the unimaginable and searching for solutions to make schools safer. Single-point solutions can be helpful, but all have vulnerabilities.

A layered approach to making schools safer leverages technology as a force multiplier for school security personnel.

Remote camera monitoring informed by weapon detection algorithms can detect threats in the parking lot or playground.

In a world where threats to our children’s safety are tragically persistent, a multifaceted strategy can make schools safer.
