Crime has always been a concern for U.S. schools, but in recent years, the number of criminal incidents has been on the rise. Many schools are taking steps to improve campus safety by ramping up security measures.
Window film provides Austin schools with a powerful tool for combatting crime and protecting staff and students. Here’s how it can help make schools safer:
Anti-Graffiti Film for Vandalism
Graffiti can be costly for schools. It is also difficult to control since it often takes place in out-of-sight areas like student restrooms and gym locker rooms. By installing anti-graffiti film, schools can prevent vandalism and save on repair costs.
Security Film for Violent Crimes
There are a variety of security films that schools can use to improve safety. In addition to standard anti-intrusion films, there are also ballistic resistant and bomb blast protection options. Schools can use these films to prevent accidents and injuries on campus and help keep students safe during emergencies.
