Creating a corporate physical security strategy is no small task, nor should it be taken lightly.

With today’s electronic security trends enabling a higher level of security for organizations, the good news is there are a variety of physical security solutions available to combat a range of threats.

Amidst the pandemic, the QSR (quick-service restaurant) space underwent a shift in services. Rather than completely revamping their business models, QSRs began to reinvent their existing operations in order to offer safer, faster, and more efficient services. QSRs need to meet consumers — who crave convenience, consistency, and quality — where they are at.

What many school districts do not realize is that they can use their ARP ESSER III funds to ensure that their current security system is operating reliably and effectively through a service and maintenance agreement.

In April 2021, the Federal Government approved the 2020-2023 American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III Grant.
