As the summer holidays approach, schools across the country prepare for an extended period of closure. While this break provides much-needed rest for students and staff, it also presents a significant security challenge. Empty buildings can become targets for vandalism, theft, and other criminal activities. At Carter Security, we understand the importance of safeguarding educational institutions during this vulnerable period. With over 30 years of experience in the security industry, we offer comprehensive security solutions to ensure your school remains protected all summer long.

One of the most effective ways to secure an empty school is through manned guarding. Our highly trained security personnel provide a visible deterrent to potential intruders and ensure immediate response to any suspicious activity. By stationing guards at key points around the school, we can monitor entry and exit points, conduct regular patrols, and respond swiftly to any incidents. Our presence not only deters criminal activity but also provides peace of mind to school administrators and local communities.

In addition to static guards, mobile patrols offer a flexible and dynamic security solution. Our mobile patrol units can cover large areas and multiple sites, making them ideal for schools with extensive grounds or multiple buildings. These patrols are conducted at irregular intervals to avoid predictability, ensuring a constant security presence that keeps potential intruders guessing. Our highly visible, branded vehicles serve as a further deterrent, demonstrating to any onlookers that the premises are under vigilant surveillance.

Reviewing CCTV and Alarm Systems

The summer holidays are an excellent time to review and upgrade your school’s existing security systems. At Carter Security, we recommend a thorough assessment of your CCTV and alarm systems to ensure they are functioning optimally. Our experts can help identify any blind spots, suggest improvements, and implement the latest technologies to enhance your school's security infrastructure. Properly maintained and upgraded systems provide an additional layer of security, allowing for real-time monitoring and rapid response to any incidents.
