As concerns for campus safety rapidly rise within higher education communities, it is important to implement a proactive plan as the first step to acknowledging your security needs. By preparing a communications system and plan of action prior to an incident, the effectiveness and response of your team can be better executed. By incorporating emergency communication products, a campus can ready itself by providing prominent crime deterrents, self-help options and a wide range of surveillance.
