It is a universal truism that children are our future; our job is to give them the space and opportunity to learn and grow. Sadly, the threats to our schools are many. One only needs to turn on the news to see that the danger is genuine and very present. 

The research is clear, though. When students feel protected from violence and outside intrusions, they do better in their studies and become more engaged with their classmates and the community. At Circle Industries, we are dedicated to offering the highest-grade school alarm systems that detect, deter, and keep everyone informed.

GUNSHOT / BREAK-IN DETECTION 

The biggest fear of any security personnel is the threat of an active shooter entering a building. It goes without saying that the quicker you know that an event has occurred and where it is located, the more likely it can be contained. 

Gunshot detectors use ultrasonic acoustic sensing to identify the exact location, discriminate the sound from other loud reports, and instantly notify security and first responders. The sensors are mounted unobtrusively throughout the school grounds, diligently listening for signs of trouble. Additionally, the units can detect the sounds of breaking glass, alerting you to any attempts to gain entry through windows. 

ACCESS CONTROL 

Managing access to buildings and even individual classrooms is one of your most important lines of defense. An efficient system works to verify attendance, control the flow of bodies, and keep students and staff from gaining entry to areas they have no business occupying. 

Keycards alleviate the need for physical keys or teams of officers for each entry point. With facial recognition software, a system can match the access request with photos on file, track individuals with advanced search, and capture their daily timeline on recordings. 

EMERGENCY MESSAGING 

Providing instructions and information is crucial to a safe and successful end to the actions during any crisis event. Emergency messaging and mass notification networks keep everyone up-to-date. 

Having an infrastructure capable of distributing messages to different audiences allows you to send targeted texts. For example, you can send lockdown instructions to those inside buildings while alerting first responders with details. Likewise, notifications to parents, loved ones, and the community furnishes reunification directions when an incident threat is contained.
