School
Let Texana Security help design a system that will help protect your children and our future.
To help students learn at their highest potential, they must first be in a safe learning environment. A security system from Texana Security can help make your school a safe place for children to learn and grow.
It is our goal to help create a safe environment in which students, teachers, administrators, staff and visitors can interact in a positive, non-threatening manner that fosters positive relationships and personal growth. It is important that schools have an adequate security system in place to help students to focus on academics, instead of worrying about their own safety.
With our forward-thinking approach, we can provide seamless integration of all your security systems, so you can benefit from a fully integrated solution. We can customize solutions for the smallest campus up to the largest school district.
Texana Security solutions can adapt to changing conditions, so you can be sure that your school will be safe today and in the future. To see what a difference our expertise can make, take advantage of a free risk assessment by one of our security specialists. This will give you a clear idea of the specific challenges your school faces and the choices you have to address them.
School Security Checklist
Quickly and easily identify areas where your school campus could be vulnerable to security breaches with this question checklist. Keep in mind question topics you'd be interested in discussing with our experienced school security professionals.
- Does your current system protect every access point and entry to your buildings such as doors, windows and other points of entry (loading docks, heating and air vents)?
- Does your system help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your school buildings, grounds and restricted access areas?
- Are community activities (non-school-related programs) held on your premises? Does your security system take this into consideration?
- Does your security program take into consideration time periods when students and teachers are arriving and leaving (known as "fringe times")?
- Are computers, athletic equipment and student records properly secured against theft or unauthorized transport?
- Do you currently have a video surveillance system that monitors, records and stores video of vulnerable and high-risk areas such as:
- Parking lots and garages
- Hallways and locker areas
- Lunchrooms
- Computer rooms and A/V areas
- Science labs
- Gyms and swimming pools
- Hazardous chemical and cleaning product storage areas
- Graffiti- and vandalism-prone areas
- Can your video surveillance cameras be monitored from a remote location? Do you receive exception reporting?
- Can real-time security system data (video files, audio files, access control) be shared with other locations and local law enforcement?
- Are your security systems (fire, access control, emergency voice, video surveillance, property, etc.) integrated into one network?
- Is your security system integrated with your IT network? Are they safe from cyber attack?
- How quickly do you know when a critical system (such as the A/C pump or furnace) is inoperative? Does your system monitor hazardous fumes, such as carbon monoxide?
- Does a security company routinely evaluate your school's security needs and systems?
- Are your fire systems routinely tested and inspected according to local fire codes?
Keep in mind that this checklist represents just a narrow sample of the issues your school may be facing. Of course every situation is different, which is why we provide a free Risk Assessment at your request. We can provide a thorough assessment of your grounds, buildings, facilities and networks in order to develop an actionable plan of security. Texana Security can help you put together the technological resources for a comprehensive security solution for your school.
