Last week, SecurityPark.net published an article on school security (Source: SecurityPark.net, 5/21/09, Good school security design is not simply about security hardware) that reinforces much of what this blog has represented over the past 15 months. The following quote from Mark Whyte, TPS Director of Security and Explosion Effects, encapsulates our approach to school security.

“Security systems for new schools have to provide value for money and must justify the capital investment involved. Good security design is not simply about security hardware – it’s about creating a safe and secure environment for staff and pupils and enhancing the learning environment. This requires a collaborative approach between headmasters, local authorities, the police, architectural liaison officers, architects and engineers.”

Do your school district’s security initiatives support this holistic approach?
