SCHOOL
SECURITY

SchoolGuard is a combination of services that works together to provide the optimal solution for school security. It includes monitoring of alarms placed in multiple areas from our central monitoring center and 2 random patrols per night to maintain a presence and check on the facility.

Having a dedicated physical security presence on your premises is regarded as the most reliable and thorough security option. Rush Security has an enviable track record providing on-site static guard services. Our security officers are trained and recruited on their ability to think on their feet and be proactive. They would also be a uniformed presence that adds to the discipline and image of providing high-level security. This service can be:

Permanent Guard Services – Where a full time security officer or officers are inducted and trained to meet your specific security needs on site. They would follow set procedures to ensure the safety of the premises and its assets. This could include day or night services or round the clock. The business or Rush Security could supervise these officers but the key is that they meet your unique requirements.

Casual Guard Services – Where you may require a security officer or officers for a specific duration or short period at set times, we are able to supply you with a reliable temporary well trained security officers.

Having your alarm linked to a monitoring center is key to ensuring 24/7 surveillance. An alarm on its own is seldom sufficient guarantee and it is all too common to hear an alarm going off in building with no one responding. Vigilant, experienced and trained Rush Security Officers using the very latest security software and technology are on-call at our Monitoring Center to:

• keep a permanent “eye” on your business and premises
• respond within seconds to an activation
• alert the business owner to establish the circumstances of the activation
• dispatch one of our roving security patrol officers to deal with the situation
• contact the emergency services if required
• ensure that the alarm is reset (if false alarm)
• ensure that the premises is secured if an intrusion has taken place

Most alarm monitoring occurs via a standard phone line to our Monitoring Center. However, increasingly people are moving to voice over IP (VOIP) or Ultra fast broadband and fibre (UFB). In this instance:

• we can offer a seamless monitoring of your business security via the internet (IP – Internet protocol)
• we install a small device into your alarm panel, which will link to your Router or Modem (provided your alarm panel is not outdated)

Dual signaling enables us to use a mobile phone network and a telephone and/or IP path to transmit activation signals at high speed from your business to our Monitoring Center. It most commonly uses GPRS or GSM, a high-speed signaling technology used to send and receive ‘packets’ of data. This type of monitoring:

• Reduces false alarms and unnecessary responses
• helps considerably when the phone line is down as the dual signaling device can continue to send alarm calls via one of its alternative wireless paths

If you have a CCTV system installed, we can provide video verification to your alarm activations, and can also view pre-alarm video information so that we can assess the footage from our monitoring center and provide insight into the event.

Having a dedicated Alarm Response strategy to supplement our Alarm Monitoring is the ideal security solution. We have dedicated Patrol Teams waiting and ready to be dispatched to your home. The Monitoring Center will initiate prompt action depending on your requirements. They will:

• call a pre-arranged list of people to confirm the circumstances that triggered the alarm
• if an intruder has triggered the alarm our experienced team of security Patrol Officers are ready to respond immediately
• each patrol team focuses on a clearly defined geographical areas, enabling them to respond faster ‘on average’ than our competitors
• all vehicles are equipped with GPS and Navman navigational system to facilitate a fast and efficient response.

Our professional and uniformed Security Officers provide a strong visible presence at your home and suburb, which is an excellent form of crime prevention. In addition to an alarm response service, we can provide:

• regular property perimeter checks
