What Safety and Security Window Film Can Do for Your School or Building

Every Second Counts

35% of U.S. parents said they fear for their children’s safety while they are at school, according to a 2018 Gallup survey.

The average duration of an active shooter incident at a school is 12.5 minutes, according to research by the Department of Homeland Security. The national average response time for law enforcement is 18 minutes, or 5.5 minutes longer. Unfortunately, this means an active shooter incident will most likely be over before law enforcement arrives.
Adding Safety and Security Window Film with an attachment system can help slow intruders, taking 1-2 minutes (or longer) for glass to penetrate or shatter than typical glass.
