TownSteel Inc.’s Post

Quite some time ago, TownSteel embarked on a journey to bring more awareness to School Safety and Security. This was driven in large part to a void we saw in this space as it relates to door hardware, classroom security, and budget constraints among other issues school districts face. Our latest webinar will be a conversation about budgets and how to navigate them and upgrade the security of schools. Join us for this interesting informative conversation! #townsteel #schoolsecurity #schoolsafety #schoolbudgets

Like every vocation, people who choose the life of a #schoolsafety professional are by and large more capable to help protect students, staff and visitors. It is not enough to have passion to protect our kids, there are skills, experience and talent necessary to lead schools to a safer place.

NOT IF, WHEN The Paratus 3P Program content yesterday was NOT IF, WHEN.    This was based on what Douglas Williams, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Houston FBI Office was quoted saying during a press conference regarding the Lakewood Church Shooting: "It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when something will happen". Now today, we have the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Parade. It truly is now not a question of IF you, your business team members, your church congregation or your family will be exposed to one of the many threats we face today.  The question is WHEN. Exciting news – the Paratus 3P program is here to elevate the school experience for your Home School families.

We target the threats our families and children face today, reinforcing practices that enable you to protect what matters most - your safety.
