Violent incidents in U.S. schools have reached alarming numbers in recent years, with over 857,500 violent occurrences and more than 479,500 nonviolent disruptions reported in 2021-2022 alone. From unauthorized access to incidents of violence, theft, and vandalism, schools are vulnerable to various security risks that demand a shift toward proactive monitoring.
In recent years, 94% of schools have implemented security cameras as part of their safety facilities. However, we’re unsure if these cameras truly keep the campus safe. And when it comes to campus security monitoring, schools still face five challenges
1. Rising incidents of theft, vandalism, and violence
2. Difficulty monitoring large campuses with hidden blind spots
3. Slow response times during emergencies
4. Limited budgets and outdated surveillance systems
5. Managing safety across multiple campuses with limited resources
Many schools are moving toward AI-driven systems. Currently, over 28% of schools have integrated AI surveillance, with an additional 32% planning to follow soon.
This eBook "The Future of K-12 Security: The Impact of AI Surveillance on Ensuring Student Safety" explores rising campus threats like theft and vandalism, reveals how AI-driven surveillance reduces false alarms by 90% and provides strategies to enhance safety, improve response times, and streamline school operations.
