With the Texas Education Agency (TEA) mandating security film for schools across Texas, administrators face important decisions about implementation and funding. The state has allocated $1.1 billion to help schools meet these requirements, but accessing and maximizing these funds requires strategic planning. Let's explore how Dallas schools can enhance security while making sound financial decisions that protect both students and budgets.

From a high school student recently injured in a shooting in Austin, TX, to the Dallas school where a shooter harmed four students, it can feel like we have a long road to travel before we gain control of school violence. 

At the school in Dallas, a student opened an unsecured door for the gunman, who immediately started firing. Fox 7 interviewed Craig Miller, a former Dallas Police Chief and current consultant and school safety expert, who shared what another school instituted after experiencing a mass shooting. 

They installed audible alarms and security cameras on all the exterior doors so the school knows who’s coming and going. By seeing what’s transpiring inside and outside the school, everyone gains a deeper understanding of what is happening at every moment.

Today, there is a significant difference in the various school security cameras and video surveillance systems on the market. No two schools are alike, and their surveillance systems should reflect that. Here, we’ll explore some key features that provide the greatest support in emergencies. 

As security threats escalate, more businesses than ever are turning to commercial video surveillance to keep an eye on their property when they’re away. Those who have set their sights on growth want a scalable, reliable system that they can access from anywhere.

If you’re one of the businesses in San Antonio, TX, that have experienced repeat burglaries, or even one, it can be devastating. Not only are savings quickly depleted and the prospect of retaining insurance narrowed, but a sense of vulnerability never really goes away. 

According to law enforcement, these repeat offenders are looking for easy targets, businesses they can get in and out of relatively unscathed. Because of this, the police are recommending steps that narrow your chance of becoming a victim, such as an access control system, ensuring well-lit areas, and using security cameras.

In our experience, we find security alarm monitoring tops the preventative list when it comes to protecting what you’ve worked so hard to create. Read ob to learn why.

As Austin, TX, builds its presence as a growing tech hub, increasing security issues follow—both cyberattacks and physical security risks. In response, businesses seek advanced security measures to protect assets, staff, and customers. 

One of the prominent solutions is a commercial security system by the modern security provider known as Verkada. 

Here, we’ll explore what this company offers and how its security system gained global status in less than 10 years. 

While much of our attention has been diverted to school violence coming from outside sources, internal threats are much more common. It’s important to address our educational system's continuing challenges in protecting students’ well-being. Bullying, drug use, and hate crimes remain significant, negatively impacting mental and emotional health and potentially affecting long-term career goals and decisions. 

One of the security systems that help support a healthier and safer internal environment is school alarm systems. These systems protect schools from both internal and external threats.
