eBook: The Impact of Invasive Security Screening for K-12 Students

Finding the Right Balance Between School Safety and a Positive Student Experience

In recent years, K-12 schools all over the country have been ramping up security measures to create safer campuses for their students — largely in response to school shootings that have been gripping national headlines. Traditional metal detectors and more portable metal detectors are among the various types of solutions that schools have been adding to their physical security efforts, as part of their layered security approach.

While traditional screening methods can help in stopping weapons from entering campus and deterring potentially dangerous incidents, schools have cited that these methods can be problematic.

In this eBook, we explore four ways that invasive security screening negatively impacts students followed by how schools can avoid these harmful effects with a more guided weapons detection solution that allows for directed and unbiased searches.

eBook: The Impact of Invasive Security Screening in Healthcare Settings

Finding a Better Screening Solution

There is no doubt that there is a great need for hospitals and other healthcare facilities to prioritize the safety of their patients, guests, and staff members. Patients may already be in a vulnerable state, and it is a duty of the healthcare organization to keep these individuals safe on the premises while they receive care.

In this eBook, we explore three ways that intrusive secondary security screenings negatively impact healthcare site patrons and staff members followed by how healthcare organizations can avoid these harmful effects with a more guided weapons detection solution that helps allow for directed and unbiased searches.

eBook: The New Standard – A Security Technology Buyer’s Guide

Technology is advancing, changing the threat landscape from what it looked like decades ago when current standards for metal detectors were authored.

Our standards should be advancing, too. It’s time for a new standard: one that updates the requirements for the technologies protecting our venues, acknowledges the demand for a great guest experience, and removes the burden on security teams to visually distinguish everyday metal objects from weapons.

Today’s technology extends from machine learning and artificial intelligence onboard devices to cloud connectivity, data analytics, remote device management, and mobile applications.

eBook: Transforming Human Security

Summary

It’s time for people to feel safe again.

Far too often, we hear about a seemingly random active shooter incident, mass shooting or soft target attack. Venues and facilities of all kinds are vulnerable—industrial workplaces, stadiums, shopping malls, airports, office buildings, nightclubs, schools—anywhere people congregate freely.

This unpredictable environment is forcing security directors and facility managers to rethink their security strategies. How do you get started? What are the key considerations you should be thinking about?

This eBook addresses these questions and defines the next generation approach to physical security that effectively balances threat detection with a positive visitor experience— traditionally, two mutually opposing goals.
