School Security

While the primary concern of

schools is to teach, today's reality is that

schools are also concerned with

protecting and safeguarding young

people. More and more, schools have

begun using metal detectors and other

means to keep weapons and other

harmful things out of the school

environment. Schools now also have

security guards who are able to search

students’ property. It’s sad that schools

have gotten to this point but most would

agree it is necessary to maintain a safe

and educational atmosphere in schools.

School is a place to learn and be

educated, not a place for vandalism,

gangs, or violence. Schools should be a

place of safety and education.

The use of metal detectors in

school is a great way to keep harmful

items off school property. Not only will

the students be put in danger, but the

faculty will also have families at home.

Having metal detectors keep these

weapons out of school environment.

There are cases in which students or

outsiders else brought a weapon into a

school that is not detected. In this case

there are cameras which give security a

view of the person taking out the

weapon or any suspicious act that might

imply any danger to the school.

Cameras help identify anybody might

do any vandalism to the school property

and lets the school know where and

there is potential danger.

Schools are not safe with just

metal detectors and cameras. Security

guards are another way in keeping

harmful weapons off of the school

property. Security guards can search a

student’s bag or even the student to

check if they are carrying something

they are not supposed to have. Now it’s

said that under the Fourth Amendment,

American citizens are protected from

unreasonable searches and seizures by

public officials. Although the Fourth

Amendment requires both a warrant

and probable cause in most cases, the

    How much is your child's safety worth? Are you willing to put a price tag on your child's life? Many schools are putting a price tag, but fortunately several are not. A shocking one in ten students has carried a weapon to school in New York. Statistics like this cannot be music to the ears of parents. You have to wonder what schools are doing about this awful matter. A notion that has been around, yet a new idea is helping pave the future on student safety in schools. It is metal detectors. This new idea has caused controversy all over the world. Schools around the United States have turned to metal detectors for their solution. I feel that metal detectors are a small price to pay when this matter concerns children. Metal detectors are helpful and expensive. However, most schools are able to afford them, and they do not exploit students' rights.…

    The public police industry has never had a close relationship with the private security profession. Public police officers have typically viewed private security as “law enforcement wanna-bes” (p. 247, Clifford, 2004). Private security is viewed this way because the training requirements are different and in many ways less extensive than what is required of public police officers (Australian Institute of Criminology, 1998). This has been a controversial issue in the past but in recent years has been changing for the better. Private and public security agencies have begun to bridge the gaps between the two industries.…

    In this essay, I will explain an unfortunate situation that occurred to me due to being negligent and irresponsible. The way I handled a certain situation also leads me to be speaking about the importance of keeping your items safe inside your barracks room and securing your items. I will be explaining a recent theft that happened to me and how it could have been avoided, had I followed regulations listed in the barracks handbook. Unfortunate things happen when proper measures are not taken. I have witnessed firsthand what it is like to lose important items because of being careless. In this essay I will also be showing the proper way to secure your items in the barracks and why this is important not only inside of the barracks, but everywhere you go as a Soldier in the US Army. I will not only explain why it is important to secure your belongings in the barracks, and lock your barracks door, but I will also relate this to how it compares to actual moments in the battlefield where you may suffer if you are missing items of value due to lack of accountability for them.…

    Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores.…

    Physical security starts with a rather simple basic premise; those who do not belong on your institution’s property should be excluded from your institution. This may happen in three often interrelated ways: when those who do not belong are identified, stopped and denied admission, when those who do not belong are denied admission by a physical device, such as a locked door. When those who do not belong are denied admission because they decide that your institution is too difficult to enter and thus they do note entry.…
