Schools are always vulnerable to attack by thieves or vandals. Thieves generally target expensive equipment such as computers and overhead projectors in the knowledge that, for long periods of time, particularly during the holidays, they are less likely to be disturbed.

The disruption to school life from a break-in is made all the more severe because of the damage which generally accompanies this type of crime.

The solution is to ensure that the school is protected with security systems that will deter and help catch offenders. Most property loss occurs in the initial minutes of a break-in, before police or security teams have had a chance to respond.

In addition to alarm systems and CCTV, Safeguard Alarms Limited also offer the SmokeCloak* which is designed to provide protection in the critical time gap between the alarm’s activation and the arrival of the police.

In a matter of minutes, SmokeCloak fills the protected area with an impenetrable cloud of smoke that prevents the loss of property, confuses the intruders and forces them out of the building.

The fog is created by vaporising a specially-formulated glycol solution which is harmless, but which reduces visibility down to less than 30cm - almost nil visibility.

We also supply and install door entry systems to ensure that only those authorised are able to access school property, providing protection to children and staff.
