The Security Concerns Schools Face in Miami

Miami, like many other cities, has experienced its share of school violence, leaving our community deeply affected. Miami schools have also been dealing with increased numbers of threats in recent years. Additionally, the Miami-Dade School District received a letter from the Florida Department of Education claiming it and other large districts in the state had failed to follow the state’s school safety requirements. These tragic events have brought school security to the forefront of our minds, compelling us to take action. With an unwavering commitment to the safety of our children, Miami Commercial Window Tinting offers security film options that can make a significant difference in emergency situations.

Important Factors for Schools to Consider

When considering the implementation of security film solutions, there are crucial factors that schools should keep in mind. By addressing these aspects, you can maximize the effectiveness of your security measures:

Single or Double-Pane Windows

Window type plays a significant role in response time. For single-pane glass, we recommend a double layer of security film to enhance protection.

Side Doors and Points of Entry

Entryway doors are often vulnerable areas. Extend security measures to side doors, back doors, sidelights, and any other potential points of entry.

Interior/Exterior Locking Doors

Ensure both sets of doors, including both interior and exterior doors, are coated with security film. This is especially important for doors with automatic locking mechanisms.

Protection for Front Desk

Prioritize protecting the front desk area, as it serves as a vital location for immediate activation of lockdown measures upon threat identification.
