For schools around the United States, increased violent crime and active shooter situations have brought a sharp focus on safety, and polls show the growing fears among American parents. In response, a Northeast K-12 School district planned an upgrade for their access control system and the deployment of new video security technology.
To ensure the safety of staff, students, and the community as a whole, the district safety committee took a careful approach to school security by insisting that the upgrade team work closely with local emergency responders, including police, fire departments, and local homeland security officials.
