Sonitrol Verified School SecurityImplementing an effective security system for private and independent schools is just as important as security for the public school sector.

It's every private school administrator's worry. Something happens to one of your students. Maybe they were robbed; maybe they were a victim of bullying, maybe there is considerable vandalism or defacing of property? You have to ask yourself, "Could I have prevented it?" and you know that the parents will ask that same question, so your reputation is based on doing what you can to prevent crime.

Even though the statistics show that private schools have lower crime rates than public schools. There can be key factors that affect the crime at a particular school, especially location of the school and in some cases, the ethnic/religious values of the private school.  Many of these private schools are located in dense urban settings, and some of these settings are in high-crime areas. Even the schools in suburban settings are not immune to crime. 

Private schools are usually considerably smaller in terms of facility size, enrolment, and staff, but security and safety needs for children are the same whether there are 100 students or several thousand.

Private school administrators need to know that they can implement quality security procedures, backed up with affordable technology for building access and CCTV monitored alarms. 

A school regardless of its size, needs to secure the building perimeter, control building access and monitor hallways and other unsupervised areas.

Sonitrol monitored video cameras are a deterrent to outsiders who do not belong on school property. The presence of security cameras can bring peace of mind to students and parents when it is understood that the live video footage is monitored 24/7 and acted upon in an emergency.  

If an incident does occur, a break-in, theft, or an act of violence, the perpetrator is captured on video and the police are immediately notified by our central monitoring station. Our Sonitrol Educational Institution Security Solution, doesn't just record break-ins and theft, we also immediately alert the police and they will respond quickly to catch the intruders!  

Parents who send their children to private schools expect the best in quality education and that also means a safe, protected school facility. School administrators need to know that putting up a cheap CCTV system is not good enough because it doesn't do anything to protect against a crime in progress. With a Sonitrol monitored video camera - trained security specialists are watching and listening in real-time and can respond immediately to a dangerous situation.

Our unique SonaVision verified video solution, monitors the perimeter and interior of the educational facility and is activated by highly sensitive controls to detect thieves and vandals.

Sonitrol alarms can be strategically placed to view parking lots, entryways onto the school grounds, cafeterias, entrances to buildings, hallways, gymnasiums, computer rooms, science labs, and administrative offices. Sonitrol currently protects over 12,000 schools across North America. We'll review your school buildings and properties and provide a no obligation quote and security plan.
