School Safety and Two Way Radios

Sadly, we read stories each year where a lunatic has brought a weapon onto a school campus with the intention of causing unthinkable harm.  Educators across America are being forced to make decisions about how to keep children safe without making the environment feel like a jail.  Security Plans take preventative measures and outline the response should an incident occur.  Communication is paramount to the prevention and response of these incidents that typically take less than 10 minutes from start to finish.  Two way radios are the most effective communication tool available to your school and offer multiple benefits which are outlined below. 

Instant communication.  Simply push the button to talk and all other users instantly hear the communication.  There are a number of two way radio models available offering an Emergency Button which when pressed makes that conversation the one everyone within range hears, regardless of what they're doing.  

Empowered Team.  Chances are you'll never deal with a Shooter but custodial issues and student acts of violence can be brought under control and often times prevented when using two way radios.  Every Two Way Radio User becomes a Defacto Member of your Security Team because they can see and instantly alert others of incidents.  

Team Response.  A Custodian in California saved countless students because while monitoring his two way radio, he learned of a Gunman and ran down the halls of a school yelling for everyone to take cover and lock their doors.  Having all Personnel outfitted with walkie talkies reduces response times and reduces the risk your Students and Staff are facing.   

Quicker De-escalation.  Whether it be a drill or an active incident, two way radios allow you to communicate instantly with Key Players to give the All Clear once everyone's safety is confirmed.
