Wren Provides School Administrators with 10 Small Steps That Make Big Security Differences
>> Top 10 Check List Gives Administrators Quick Security Review Guidelines
ATLANTA, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- As schools are welcoming students back for a new school year, administrators have likely been busy prioritizing last-minute arrangements in anticipation of students' and staff's return. While the list of tactical preparations is long, administrators should not overlook security as one category to address. In a new Bird's Eye View advisory, Wren has developed a "Top 10" check list to help administrators in need of a quick security review.
Wren's new advisory covers the main security checks administrators should make at the beginning of each new school year, which include:
- Historical lessons: what did the school learn from past incidents?
- Traffic management and safety: what traffic problems need to be addressed to make it safer for vehicles and pedestrians to travel across campus?
- Signage: are all directional, identity and regulatory signs sending the right message?
- Technology checks: are access control and video surveillance systems updated and working as they should?
- Resource lists: have all local law enforcement, emergency responders and firefighters contact lists been updated since the previous year?
"With our check list, administrators can improve security and reduce liability in areas that are the most common source of security and safety issues in schools," said Jeff Floreno, director of security operations and strategy, Wren Solutions. "The steps outlined in our advisory help schools work from the outside in so all critical areas of a campus are covered, from the roadways leading onto campus to the information resources administrators will need in case of an emergency."
