Webinar: Achieving Clarity in Your Comprehensive School Safety Plan

The technology surrounding school safety and security can often feel overwhelming. The intricate nature of both established and emerging technologies, along with the systems themselves and their integration, can lead to considerable confusion.

PASS leverages the expertise of 65-70 subject matter experts to gain valuable insights on new technologies, capabilities, compliance, and outreach. By partnering with manufacturers and collaborating with numerous security consultants nationwide, we develop guidelines that utilize the best practices, starting with the fundamental components of technology platforms. Our focus is on deterring, delaying, and detecting potential threats to faculty and students. We leverage technology at every layer to create threat delays and enhance safety, ensuring a comprehensive approach to safeguarding our schools.

We continually assess emerging and effective technologies to integrate into our recommended layered security approach, evaluating hardware, software, and the integration of APIs that connect different devices. We study the fundamental components of technology platforms, ensuring we utilize the best practices for effective integration and implementation. 

Listen to our recent webinar where we explored:

• Typical reactions of school communities to technical discussions
• Assembling a team to navigate the complexities of integrating new and proven technologies
• The importance of teamwork and stakeholder involvement to ensure alignment within the community

Hear from one of our technology advisors Motorola, makers of two-way radios and paging systems that allow everyone to communicate effectively and reduce the time it takes to request assistance during a situation. The Motorola Solutions ecosystem offers critical communications, access control, and video security, all integrated under a single interface to ensure the school safety plan is as seamless as possible. Enhance your understanding of school safety systems and establish a cohesive safety strategy throughout your campus.
