Kevin Davis, J.D., CPP, Assistant Director of Public Safety, impressed the importance of AI-driven video analytics in school safety measures in a recent SECURED podcast by ASAP Security Services. 

Davis pointed out the lack of school resources and the inability to hire the necessary number of guards to offer a proactive security environment. Advanced video analytics can help strengthen this missing element, proactively mitigating risks and contributing to enhanced security. 

Here, we’ll explore the role of AI in protecting schools by integrating it into school security systems.

Consider the areas in your business that contain sensitive data or valuable property. Now, are those areas secure? Unfortunately, employees can become the weakest link in your organization when it comes to protecting data. 

While many businesses are undertaking the necessary cybersecurity measures to limit their exposure to data breaches, one often overlooked area is physical access control. Restricting access to vulnerable areas containing secure data and assets is the best protection against physical security breaches. 

Fortunately, with today’s technology, limiting access to specific people, roles, and time of day offers the solution. The answer for companies looking for an integrated security system that grows with their expanding business is a Verkada access control system.

With growing concerns about rising security threats in schools, San Antonio, TX, districts are searching for ways to strengthen their campuses without the budget for high-tech installations. One effective and cost-conscious option to consider is impact-resistant film. This solution is a nearly invisible layer that reinforces glass windows and doors.

Unlike more drastic security measures like replacing glass altogether with an impact-resistant variant, impact-resistant film provides added protection without major construction or altering the appearance of the school. While it’s not necessarily going to stop an impact from traveling, it can help delay intruders, protect others from shattering glass, and give staff and law enforcement valuable time to respond. The film is a practical and affordable solution for schools looking to improve safety and emergency response times. Continue reading to learn more.
