Educational Campus Security Services

Campus Security Solutions for Schools & Universities

Safety and security in educational environments remain paramount concerns for students, faculty, staff, and parents. From elementary schools to universities, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment is a shared responsibility. This begs the question: Who is responsible for maintaining campus safety, what measures are necessary, and how can we continually improve security protocols?

Sunstates Security specializes in providing comprehensive educational campus security solutions for schools and universities across the nation. We understand that the challenges faced by educational institutions vary significantly depending on their location, size, and student population. Whether situated in a rural, suburban, or urban setting, we design customized security plans to address the unique needs of each campus.

Why Have a Plan?

Sunstates understands the vulnerabilities that students, faculty, and visitors face in an open school or campus setting and the inherent need to ensure a safe learning environment for everyone involved.

An article by ASIS discusses explicitly the potential for random acts of aggression by disgruntled individuals in this environment, pointing out that, “We give these threats little thought until the unthinkable is broadcast on national news, and then we scramble to ensure our faculty and students are not exposed to such a threat.” Having a proactive strategy and a highly visible security presence can serve as a deterrent to student aggression, bullying, and criminal activity while providing a framework for effective and immediate response if it should occur. As well as serving as a criminal deterrent, security staff can play an essential role in identifying potentially threatening health and safety issues and intervening before they can escalate.

Educational Campus Security Services

Whether we are working in tandem with campus police or providing a stand-alone program, Sunstates customizes our approach to meet the unique requirements of each learning environment we serve. A recent article from the Business Journal highlights the transition many school safety programs are taking to the utilization of “non-sworn personnel for routine services not requiring a uniformed officer.” If your educational campus is interested in updating or changing your security program, contact Sunstates to discuss your needs and learn about our Clery Act-compliant solutions, including:
