Electronic School Security
Schools have unfortunately become targets for acts of violence, theft and active shooter situations. Active shooters are unpredictable and the threat level increases dramatically in seconds. Most occurrences happen without warning and at random with no pattern or method of choosing victims. The average time a threat lasts is approximately 10 – 15 minutes, many times the damage has been done and the threat has evacuated before law enforcement is even on scene. Can you afford not to have a plan in place?
