Wake County Strengthens School Safety and School Security by Purchasing Five Additional LobbyGuard Units

RALEIGH, NC, October 5 /PRNewswire/ -- LobbyGuard Solutions, LLC is pleased to announce that Wake County Schools have added five units of their flagship visitor management product, LobbyGuard. In an effort to strengthen school safety and security, LobbyGuard can instantly check all campus visitors against their sex offender registry and notify appropriate school and district personnel if a match is made.

In a time when school security is front-page news, we were very pleased to have been offered another strategy in our arsenal of safety measures for our staff and students, reported Herman Norman, PhD, Principal of East Wake High School.

LobbyGuard operates in hundreds of public and private schools and school administrative facilities across the United States. 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 in those states to screen campus visitors, volunteers and vendors against criminal databases.

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.

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.

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.
