Safety & Security
Door Barricades & Prop Detection
Bolo Stick
Issue: Most interior doors are not fully secured with any type of secondary door locking mechanism or system.
Need: Impenetrable classrooms and offices during times of crisis.
Easy Solution: Bolo Sticks are small, steel rods that slip into the base of a door and then into a round hole in the floor. This device is simple (even a small child or a nervous teacher can operate it) AND effective (requiring over 4 tons of force to break through or pry open the door).
PropStop
Issue: Exterior doors are prone to being propped open and unmonitored causing security concerns.
Need: A fool-proof device to ensure exterior doors remain shut/locked.
Easy Solution: PropStop can mount to any door. Information on the door position is sent to the StaffAlerter Dashboard to display the status. A customizable time value is set to determine when the alert should be sent. Upon a detected door prop condition, notifications including overhead pages, emails, and/or texts are sent to pre-determined staff.
Visitor Management Kiosk
schoolSAFEid
Issue: Clipboard sign-ins just don't cut it anymore. It is crucial to know who is entering, why, and for how long.
Need: A quick and comprehensive tool for tracking visitors and student/staff attendance that significantly improves school safety.
Easy Solution: SchoolSAFEid is a kiosk with 4 components.
A) Online check-in with the touch-screen device.
B) Scan of faces and IDs with the camera.
C) Printed badges worn during visit.
D) Detailed reports produced to simplify data collection.
Non-Lethal Defense Device
Threat Extinguisher
Issue: Your personnel in the front office are sitting ducks. They are not sufficiently prepared to be your first line of defense.
Need: Provide staff with a non-lethal device that they can use from a distance to deter active aggressors.
Easy Solution: Threat Extinguisher emits non-lethal spray which temporarily disables intruders. It functions much like a fire extinguisher, containing industrial-strength pepper spray gel and reaching a distance of 25ft. When removed from its base, it sets off alarms and notifies pre-identified local authorities.
Whole Campus Alerts
Alertus
Issue: During emergencies or outages, the tools we typically use for communication are ineffective or inefficient.
Need: A notification system that can rapidly alert across numerous devices and can stretch to every corner of your facilities.
Easy Solution: Alertus is a hardwired system that leverages your existing infrastructure to quickly broadcast notifications to all computers, tablets, phones, TVs, speakers, marquees, and fire alarms.
StaffAlerter
Issue: Notifications to staff, emergency personnel, students, and/or parents are ineffective.
Need: A notification system that can rapidly alert across numerous device-types and audiences.
Easy Solution: StaffAlerter is a cloud-based, wireless system that provides a layered approach to building safety. With a variety of options for alerts and alarms, this system can control building access, sense facility environmental changes, send notifications, offers 24/7/365 monitoring, and equips staff with Personal Alert Devices.
Dismissal Safety & Pickup
smartDISMISSal
Issue: The after-school pickup line is hectic and unsafe.
Need: A process that facilitates a safer, more organized, and less demanding dismissal process.
Easy Solution: The smartDISMISSal technology replaces the need for outdated walkie talkies, bullhorns, and clip boards. School staff enters a student’s ID number from a wireless device which is then relayed inside the school. The student's name appears on a screen which corresponds with their guardian’s vehicle number. This process minimizes the number of staff involved and creates a safer environment - the correct students leaving with the correct adults.
Vape Detection
HALO
Issue: The use of vaping devices, eCigs, and THC is a daily health and safety concern and there is no perfect way to monitor it.
Need: Sensors set-up in strategic places to detect vaping and the use of other smoke-producing products.
Easy Solution: HALO SmartSensors and their cloud-based system allow you to manage devices across the campus, receive real-time Health Index and Air Quality alerts via text/email, as well as view historical data to document your building’s trouble spots.
Metal Detection
Metrasens
Issue: Safety concerns abound at both public events and day-to-day school entry.
Need: An effective, versatile screening device that can be used in a variety of environments, is touch-free, and causes minimal disruptions.
Easy Solution: Metrasens Ultra is an advanced detection system to prevent weapons and other threat items. Metrasens offers flexible and non-intimidating detection that integrates seamlessly into your existing environments. Strike the balance between accurate, precise screening and keeping people moving.
Active Threat Alarm
‘The Threat Horn’
Issue: Current alarms and sounds can cause confusion about what the emergency actually is (ex. fire alarm is pulled for active shooter).
Need: A single, standard sound that is recognized as the alert for acts of violence and lockdowns.
Easy Solution: The Active Threat Alarm was created to become the world’s single-sound for active threats. Similar to a train horn, it has the ability to send a clear message about the crisis situation and the actions to take. Law enforcement is immediately notified and the reduction in confusion saves lives.
Window Films
3M Safety & Security Films
Issue: Your glass windows and doors increase vulnerability for the dangers of intruders, theft, and active shooter situations.
Need: Improve overall window security, prevent shatters, add weather protections, and decrease the impacts of heat/UV.
Easy Solution: The 3M Series include various thicknesses Ultra (6 or 8 mill) and Safety (4, 7, 8, and 14 mill). Check off the following: active shooter interception, crime, bomb blast, and weather protection, graffiti management, and shatter-less breakage.
