Mid Carolina Security
The Gold Standard in Private Security
SCHOOL SECURITY OFFICERS
All of our School Security Officers have been through extensive background investigations, training and have the knowledge that is needed for school security. All School Security Officers also have First Aid, CPR, AED and Narcan Training.
Our school security expertise ranges from school buildings, dorms, libraries, and even graduation ceremonies. From kindergartens to colleges, we have the human capital and expertise necessary to provide the security your students and faculty deserve.
At Mid Carolina Security, we provide experienced officers to act as the first line of defense against criminal activity and theft. Our officers are trained to liaise with local law enforcement when needed and possess the tact and professionalism to interact daily with students, threatening individuals, and the general public. We are committed to maintaining a strong presence in schools of all types, all shapes and sizes, and all grade levels.
These are some of the many ways that security guards keep schools safe:
Survey school areas for suspicious behavior
Monitor areas for illegal activity
Divert dangerous situations
Patrol schools on foot or in vehicles
Listen to the safety concerns of students and faculty
Investigate signs of damage and unlawful entry
Collaborate with local law enforcement on matters
Unique School Security Needs
School shootings are too frequently in the news, and having armed security officers allow students, faculty, and staff to feel secure and safe returning to school, giving peace of mind to the families of everyone on campus. If fear exists and students and teachers do not feel secure and protected, learning is not happening at the level it should. Safety must be a priority at schools, providing what students and faculty need to function normally to learn and grow. Mid Carolina Security will only place the most highly qualified men and women in the field, and they are experts handling the unique security needs of school campuses.
Monitoring Access – public school campuses are "closed campuses," which means there is a security gate around the school. Access is limited to those entering through the front office, and doors are locked to incoming traffic during the day. Although securing a school campus is valuable, it is limited without live security guards monitoring vulnerable areas specific to schools. Open spaces and frequently used doors for exit leave access otherwise unmonitored.
Security officer Lockdown and Evacuation Protocol
The highly-trained security officers who are part of the exceptional team at Mid Carolina Security have extensive training and experience. These excellent officers are ready for any scenario and act with confidence and skill. If schools are provided a law enforcement officer, additional private security should be considered for all school campuses, from elementary to university. Being locked down due to an active threat on campus should be something students in America do not have to experience, but the reality is they need to be prepared. Students and faculty are often relieved to have an expert onsite to lead these efforts and ensure the safest procedures are being followed accurately.
Having more than one security officer or SRO on campus provides order and gets everyone to safety in an evacuation. Students respond to authority figures in uniform more than the teachers and administrators in a natural disaster. Often, students get shaken up in an evacuation, and security officers can calm people down and stay focused on getting everyone to safety and remain calm.
Familiar with the protocol for any emergency, Our officers are the most highly trained school security officers in the state. School budgets are renowned for being over-extended but calling for a quote allows schools to see how affordable security coverage is and how critical it is to include security officers in the budget each year.
Highest Level Security for Schools
Mid Carolina Security offers free consultation with an expert security coordinator who works with all sizes of schools and budgets. Presenting multiple solutions that ensure only the best security for school campus coverage, Mid Carolina Security recognize how desperately schools want to be able to protect their students and staff.
No school should experience the tragedies reported on the news. Having private security officers increases the likelihood that any unwanted people on campus will be addressed and handled immediately, avoiding the chances of a heightened situation where students and staff are in harm’s way. The dedicated men and women security specialists of Mid Carolina Security have trained at the highest level for their work and continue training as current trends of school violence are identified. There is no room for error.
First aid is another area where security officers can provide extra care on campus. Able to help provide immediate medical attention, work with emergency agencies, and sustain care until they arrive is yet another top-notch service all our officers are trained to handle.
