CARMEL, IND. - April
1, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that, as part
of their campus security theme "One Day, One Action, One Thing at a Time,"
the company is sponsoring a series of seminars directed at school administrators,
superintendents, principals, facility managers, security directors, housing
officers, and other school employees to help them protect students, staff
and assets better. These seminars are a way for a school to understand something
very overwhelming - total security - and take a step by step approach instead.
Twenty seminars are planned for March through December with 30-50 attendees
per seminar.
Paul Timm,
a board-certified Physical Security Professional (PSP), president of the RETA
Security, member of the Illinois Terrorist Task Force and one of the nation's
leading experts in school and campus safety is conducting the seminars.
"The
education community is committed to a safe learning environment for students,
staff and visitors," says Beverly Vigue, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies
vice president, education markets. "With budgets being cut, our seminars
help them to understand actions that they can take today that may be low cost
or no cost, making learning the only thing with which students and teachers
have to be concerned."
Seminar Topics include
-
• Using technology and procedures in tandem to improve campus security,
• Identifying security hazards before they become issues,
• Interacting with first responders,
• Planning an effective campus response and evacuation/lockdown procedures
for an active shooter incident or terrorist threats, and
• Strategies for unique funding opportunities.
