There is no one-size-fits all solution to school crises. From assailants on your grounds to unforeseen threats within your buildings, the right procedures and technologies can make all the difference in responding to emergencies where every second counts.

In this webinar, we’ll answer relevant school safety questions from a diagnostic, policy, logistical, and procedural standpoint so that all attendees receive practical insight into the underlying technology that supports the execution of effective procedures.
