tematically unlock the doors and clear the
building door by door through an app.
This solution not only offers protection,
but it evens reduces the classroom disrup-
tions caused by safety measures currently
used.
“With all the active shooter scenarios that
we are currently facing, classrooms are be-
ing told to leave the doors locked,” Romani
explained. “The problem is that you have
students who are in and out and it creates
quite a burden. This solution will be placed
physically on the door so you can leave the
door unlocked, students can come in and
out, but in the case of an emergency or an
active shooter scenario, you hit a fob and
it will automatically lock all the doors and
protect people within the facility.”
Complementary to SHELTER is Stanley
Guard, an app-based security solution ca-
tered towards the personal protection of
employees and students. In a campus en-
vironment, students can access the app
using their smartphones and take advan-
tage of a variety of different features if they
were to find themselves in a sticky situ-
ation. All they would have to do is shake
their phone for a predetermined number
of seconds to trigger an audible alert with
flashing lights. Furthermore, an alert will
be sent to campus security with the stu-
dent’s GPS location. Simultaneously, the
app will activate audio and video.
“This allows campus security to see the
alert, click to the video clips that have been
uploaded, see what’s actually happening,
find your GPS location and deploy one of
their mobile campus security officers to
“The buildings that we helped put up, we want to help protect.”
