School Safety

School safety has become a major concern over the years. Tragic events like Columbine and the 911 terrorist attacks demonstrate why our schools need to be prepared for emergency situations.

The National School Safety Center has a number of resources to help schools prepare themselves and develop a safety plan. One article that I found very informative is titled "Schools and Readiness". The article explains why schools need to be ready for an emergency and how they can go about developing a plan.

The relevance to Turn-Key Technologies comes in the way that the company can help schools prepare themselves. Turn-Key offers a number of wireless security solutions including the TTI Guardian, a wireless duress and emergency notification system that incorporates personal duress alarms, mass notifications, acknowledged paging and man-down or no-movement alarms. Schools using the TTI Guardian provide an extra layer of safety, which creates an unmeasurable amount of value to their education system.
