Higher Education Requires Higher Security. Don’t be a Statistic.
The role of security both on and off campus is to provide a safe and secure space for the staff and students. Failure to do that properly can result in potential physical, financial, and reputational harm to the school. Without this visibility and control, you run the risk of becoming a part of the growing statistics in campus security.
28K
In 2019, the number of reported criminal cases at universities in the United States was 27,261 across 10,965 campuses.
50/50
50% of the crimes in school are robbery or property damage, and the other 50% is assaults and rape. 20% of the latter are never reported to campus security.
44%
Of school teachers say they do not feel safe in the school over fears of violence.
$13M
A recent case in the University of Utah settled a $13M lawsuit where the campus safety team failed to respond to a stalking incident, leading to the death of a student.
Mitigating the Risk of Violence Must be a Top Priority for Higher Education
In a recent Corporate Security Report, Security professionals in education were asked what their top priorities were for the near term. Among the top two were:
86% – Implement Better Incident Management Processes and Tools
With many of the threats and incidents that happen both on and off campus, security needs to ensure not only a fast response time, but accurate reporting of incidents in order to help local authorities and internal security teams to resolve quickly. Furthermore, having a standardized incident management solution helps to create better data analytics to uncover proactive ways to mitigate campus safety risks of future incidents.
79% – Improving Visitor Management Processes and Solutions
Proper Security processes in colleges and universities account for having monitoring solutions such as cameras and motion sensors, and access control solutions that prevent unauthorized access. However, in the study, respondents found that they needed to implement more tools and processes around visitor management. With a number of visitors that come in and out of the campus, having a real-time list of expected visitors and a list of unauthorized visitors can be a literal lifesaver in campus security.
