With the rise of active shooter and active assailant attacks happening in our nation, more schools, institutions of higher education, and healthcare facilities are looking for better ways to keep intruders out, all while maintaining a welcoming environment for students, staff, patients, and guests. One of most effective ways to do this is to fortify the glass windows and glass doors on campus.
The question for protection professionals, however, is how to effectively accomplish this. Glass fortification is a complex issue that must be addressed with the help of a professional with years of experience protecting glass openings.
That’s why Campus Safety Editor-in-Chief Robin Hattersley spoke with Brad Campbell, President and Founder of Riot Glass, LLC. Riot Glass is a manufacturer of retrofit security glazing systems designed to add a significant level of forced entry and/or ballistic protection to any building.
In this interview Brad discusses: - Why it is so important for glass openings, such as windows and doors, to be fortified: 2:05 - What type of assessment process he recommends so campuses adopt the right solution(s) for their facilities: 4:31 - The different types of glass protection solutions currently available on the market, and which ones are the most effective at preventing forced entry vs. the types that are best for severe weather, earthquakes, bomb blasts, privacy, and energy savings: 11:45 - Because there is a lot of attention on active assailants right now, the specific solutions to address this threat and how a campus can most effectively protect its glass openings from active assailants and other types of intruders: 18:28
At 22:25 of the interview, we watch a video that demonstrates how these various products work in both a test environment, as well as in real-life. Also see our video on how to convert an existing door into a bullet resistant barrier: youtu.be/7zQaLHMfYo8
