In today’s climate, school safety isn’t just a routine concern, it’s an urgent priority. Administrators, staff, and communities are working hard to create secure environments where students can learn without fear. But they can’t do it alone. Law enforcement professionals play a vital role in ensuring schools are safe and prepared for a variety of threats, both inside and outside the building.
While safety drills and awareness training are important, real protection starts with the right infrastructure and technology. Below are key considerations and tools to help make school campuses safer and more secure—with several backed by Kustom Signals’ proven technology.
Install Reliable Security Cameras
Video surveillance is a frontline defense in school safety. Modern security camera systems can monitor building entrances, hallways, and outdoor areas in real-time, providing both a deterrent and a rapid response tool in emergencies. Cameras also assist with investigations, helping law enforcement verify events and timelines quickly.
Body worn cameras with livestreaming capability could be a vital tool for school security officers in the event of a serious emergency or safety threat.
Limit Building Access During School Hours
Schools should restrict access to the building while classes are in session. Timed building locks and secure entry systems help prevent unauthorized access and allow school resource officers or staff to monitor visitors more effectively.
Equip Classrooms with Internal Locks
In the event of an intruder threat, teachers need the ability to lock their classroom doors quickly from the inside. Internal locks are easy to implement and highly effective for the security infrastructure to enable faster lockdown responses.
Monitor Campus Speed with RADAR
Protecting students doesn’t end at the school doors. Outside, vehicle traffic presents a daily hazard, especially during drop-off and pick-up times when pedestrian traffic is high. Installing accurate speed awareness devices such as pole mounted displays or RADAR speed trailers on school roads makes drivers aware of their speed and encourages safe driving behavior.
