Educational Institutes

Like many public buildings, schools and healthcare institutions face a variety of risks from crime and antisocial behaviour. Security reasons are far greater in an environment where people's lives and the safety of children are at stake. In these circumstances, effective risk assessment and quality solutions are literally vital.

No one could disagree that crime prevention in schools must always focus on the key requirements to protect our children from harm, preserve essential assets and provide a safe environment for staff and students. 

Monitoring Complexes

The interface between security guarding services and technology is critical, since the means to detect problems must obviously go hand-in-hand with the means to respond to them.  School buildings, for example, can usually be well protected by alarms and cameras monitored from a remote location, combined with security guarding service with random patrol visits.

Most locations have unique characteristics that demand unique security solutions. Risk is influenced by such factors as the site's location, physical design and condition: including local crime trends, the number of entrances, the presence or absence of a perimeter fence, and the relative ease of access to upper windows or the roof. Identifying these conditions is the first element of risk assessment because doing so defines the scale of the problem and highlights the need to address specific issues.
