School Security - Stop unwanted visitors in your lobby

In today's society it has become difficult, if not impossible, to provide 100% security for the school grounds and buildings. In too many cases, drug traffickers, gang members, sex offenders (both men and women) and other ugly figures can easily access our schools. They come dressed as delivery people, visitors and in some cases even parents. The question arises how to prevent them from entering the school at the first place of safety they come into contact with: the reception in the lobby.

To protect students, administrators, and teachers, educational institutions are required to develop visitor management processes and practices that are safe but run smoothly and easily despite the complexity of these environments.

Logbook system

Using this older and very common system, anyone can enter the lobby, go to the front desk and sign the registration book, get a badge and then go to school. This system is often used in church schools, where the entrance through the school is through the largest church entrance. The system is inherently weak and does not provide security not only for the school but also for the church.

Buzz them, then register the system

Visitors "buzz" first in the installation. After entering the lobby, the visitor is asked who he should see, registered, get a ID and then go to an office at the school. This system is very weak if the visitor is not accompanied or received by the person he is meeting. If given free access, they can walk through the building or grounds. Although it provides a higher level of security than the Logbook system, it is not practical to use it if multiple visitors appear at the same time. In addition, none of the prior visit systems verify the status of the distributors, parents who may have issued restraining orders against them, a previously unhappy employee, or other undesirable persons for more visit this website https://www.greetly.com/visitor-management-system
