“Red Deer RCMP investigate school break-ins. December 4, 2017. Red Deer RCMP are investigating a rash of recent break-ins to Red Deer schools where electronics were stolen, and are asking for public assistance in identifying the suspects and in reporting suspicious activity around schools.”
The primary purpose of an educational facility is to provide education and be a safe place for learning of all kinds, however the administration and teacher’s attention is being drawn away from this, and onto security and safety concerns. Educational security is becoming a more prominent topic and unfortunately, because of technology advancements and funding for schooling, these institutions are becoming increasingly lucrative targets for criminals.
Understanding the key security points for keeping your building secure is the first step to combatting education facility crime. Your campus needs an innovative and integrated security system, that can serve the dual purpose of protecting both those inside the facility and the equipment, assets and technology, which are vulnerable to vandalism or theft.
Your school could face many different types of threat:
Robbery or Theft of Campus Property
Intruders or Unauthorised Persons
Vandalism and/or Graffiti
Physical violence or Terror
Narcotics & Narcotics Based Crime
Gang Activity
Weapons and Firearms
