New Technology from LobbyGuard Addresses Jessica Lunsford Act

RALEIGH, NC, November 3 /PRNewswire/ -- LobbyGuard Solutions, LLC is pleased to announce the addition of visitor background checks to its flagship visitor management product. LobbyGuard can instantly check all visitors against their sex offender registry and notify appropriate school and district personnel if a match is made.

LobbyGuard operates in hundreds of public and private schools and school administrative facilities. The demand for background checks came from school systems themselves, even before the state of Florida passed the Jessica Lunsford Act. The Act, commonly known as Jessicas Law, requires schools to screen campus visitors, volunteers and vendors against criminal databases.

Its the kind of technology that you hope you dont need, but in the real world you do, says LobbyGuard user Joyce Adams, Principal of Greys Creek High School, And you never know which day youre going to need it.

LobbyGuard is the most comprehensive way for schools to keep sexual predators off their grounds, addressing school security needs in three major areas: requiring a drivers license to sign in, running an instant background check on the visitor, and matching the visitor to any student he or she is allowed to pick up.

Parents need not worry that the new technology will add extra time to the check-in process. Touch the screen, type in your name, and thats it, says Jimmy Black, Director of School Security for Cumberland County Schools. Once a visitor types in their name and who they want to see, they snap their own picture with the web cam. It takes no longer than a traditional paper log book.

In addition, LobbyGuard addresses custody issue management and volunteer tracking. School personnel have instant access to information regarding parental custody for each student. Plus, schools can keep track of volunteer hours and faculty in/out times.

We listen to schools needs and respond accordingly, reports LobbyGuard Solutions president, Kevin Allen. These new features add more ways to help keep our children safer in schools.
