International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) provides expertly trained and carefully vetted school security guards for educational institutions across New York City. Our team protects students, staff, visitors, and property while helping administrators create a safer and more welcoming learning environment.

Key Challenges in Securing Charter and Private Schools

Access Control and Perimeter Safety

Managing who enters a school campus is one of the most significant challenges faced by charter and private schools. Effective access control ensures that only authorized individuals gain entry, creating a safer environment for students and staff. ISS provides unarmed guards stationed at entry points to manage visitor verification, monitor access, and keep the school perimeter secure at all times.

Preventing Safety Incidents and Ensuring Crisis Readiness

Educational institutions are susceptible to safety threats, ranging from unauthorized intrusions to internal altercations. Our security guards are trained to spot warning signs of potential conflict and take swift, appropriate action to de-escalate situations. Our comprehensive approach to school security ensures that any risks are addressed before they escalate, maintaining a safe educational environment.

Balancing Security with a Welcoming Learning Environment

Security must be balanced with the warm, nurturing environment expected at charter and private schools. Our security guards are trained to provide a professional, approachable presence, ensuring that students, parents, and staff feel welcome while benefitting from effective security measures.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
