Colleges and universities are turning to the concept of universal lockdown as a supplement to local lockdown, but is it right for your campus?
College campuses implement several safety protocols, like lockdowns, to protect students and staff from a variety of hazards, including natural disasters, nearby crimes or threats, violence, and campus shootings. While lockdown protocols may vary by campus, a school lockdown generally includes locking the entrance to the room, turning off the lights, closing curtains, and hiding or sheltering away from doors and windows.
In light of concerns surrounding student safety and the need for efficient lockdown procedures in the face of such emergencies, or as a proactive measure or test, colleges and universities are turning to the concept of universal lockdown as a supplement to local lockdown. By implementing remote locking mechanisms and advanced security measures, universal lockdown aims to enhance the speed, ease, and effectiveness of securing buildings and facilities on campuses.
