How to Spend Your School Security Grant
In 2019, the Georgia Board of Education awarded all public and charter schools with a security grant of $30,000 for security upgrades. The June 30, 2020 deadline for utilizing the $30,000 Safety Grant is fast approaching.
EMC Security is helping many schools determine the best use of the funds, and implementing security plans customized for their needs.
As a premier school security provider, EMC Security currently protects over 350,000 students across 18 county school districts in North Georgia.
The most effective campus security solutions are video surveillance and access control.
These solutions are effective measures for deterring a crisis and responding to emergencies in an education environment.
Examples of school upgrades:
Conversions & Upgrades: Migrate a legacy analog system into a network IP system with an incident detection feature and exceptional image quality. – Hazel Grove Elementary
AI Powered Video Surveillance: Monitor for trespassing, vandalism, theft, and overall perimeter protection, even in complete darkness. Search through data to quickly locate a specific person or vehicle across school grounds in near real-time. – North Middle School
