School Security Systems for K-12, Charter Schools, and Colleges
Safe and Sound Security installs school security systems for K-12 districts, private schools, charter schools, and colleges. We have 19+ years of experience and have completed security installations at more than eight educational institutions, from small preschools to large unified school districts. We are a PEPPM approved vendor, which allows school districts to purchase security systems through our contract without running a separate bid process, saving months of procurement time. We understand the compliance, budget, and safety challenges schools face. That means you get a partner who works within your procurement structure, works within your budget, and builds a system around your campus layout. Not a one-size-fits-all package.
School Security System Installations: Real Results
Safe and Sound Security has completed school security installations for K-12 districts, charter schools, private schools, and colleges. Here are three examples.
Azusa Unified School District — Azusa, California Safe and Sound Security installed 410 Verkada cameras across 12 school facilities covering 7,000 students. The system includes Verkada Air Quality Sensors in 100 bathrooms that detect vaping and alert staff in real time. This reduced vaping incidents from 250 alerts per day to fewer than 10 per week. Access control on 600 doors enables campus-wide lockdown in an active shooter event. Visitor management screens all guests against criminal databases before they enter the building.

Monterey County Office of Education — Salinas, California Safe and Sound Security integrated 65 existing Schlage locks into Verkada’s cloud-managed access control platform and centralized 815 access control users in a single dashboard, saving the district an estimated $5,000 per door compared to a full hardware replacement. The system covers 24 school districts and 663 doors. Read the case study
American River College — Sacramento, California Safe and Sound Security replaced an outdated ADT-managed system with 16 new 4K cameras, audio recording capability, and an on-premise NVR with 30-day retention, eliminating recurring subscription fees while delivering higher resolution coverage than the previous system.

School Security Solutions
Safe and Sound Security provides integrated school security systems for K-12 schools, private schools, charter schools, and colleges. A complete system includes cameras, access control, alarm systems, visitor management, and panic buttons. We install NDAA-compliant equipment from brands including Verkada, Aiphone, CENTEGIX CrisisAlert, Raptor Technologies, and Notifier. Every system is designed around your campus layout and budget, with a single point of contact for installation and ongoing service.
We understand trouble can walk right through the front door (backdoor or even a window) without a comprehensive security solution in place. Our experienced security system installers conduct security site assessments to determine exactly what technology is needed and where. We proactively assess your risk then implement a total school security system solution, on time and on budget.
School Alarm Systems
School alarm systems protect campuses from property crime, unauthorized intrusion, and fire. Safe and Sound Security installs UL-rated burglar alarms, fire alarm panels, and smoke detection systems for K-12 schools and colleges. We install Notifier and Silent Knight addressable fire alarm panels, the most widely specified brands in school RFPs. All alarm systems integrate with your access control and camera systems so your security staff sees a single, coordinated response when an alert triggers. Our certified installers comply with state and local codes in every district we serve.
School Security Cameras
School security cameras are the foundation of any campus safety system. Safe and Sound Security installs Verkada cloud-managed cameras across classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, parking lots, and perimeter entry points. Verkada cameras include built-in people analytics and can flag Persons of Interest in real time. At Azusa Unified School District, we installed 410 Verkada cameras across 12 facilities, including vape detection sensors in 100 bathrooms that reduced vaping alerts from 250 per day to under 10 per week. All Verkada cameras are NDAA compliant and FIPS 140-2 certified.
We integrate school security cameras with other technologies, such as school access control systems and alarm systems, to optimize security and give you control over who enters and leaves.
School Access Control Services
School access control systems prevent unauthorized entry, enforce lockdown procedures, and give administrators full visibility over who is on campus. Safe and Sound Security installs Verkada cloud-managed access control, Schlage classroom locks, and Aiphone IX Series intercoms, the most-specified intercom system in school building RFPs. For Monterey County Office of Education, we integrated 65 existing Schlage locks with Verkada’s platform and centralized 815 access control users in a single dashboard. For Azusa Unified School District, we are installing access control on 600 classroom and common-area doors to enable instant campus-wide lockdown during an active shooter event. Visitor management through Raptor Technologies screens guests against sex offender registries and criminal databases at check-in, before they enter the building.
Whether you need security for a single K-12 school, a multi-campus college or a statewide university system, Safe and Sound Security is your partner in providing a secure learning environment. We leverage years of training and decades of experience to design, integrate and install comprehensive security solutions for educational facilities of all shapes and sizes. We protect the school so you can protect student education.
School Security System Integration
An integrated school security system connects cameras, access control, alarms, panic buttons, and visitor management into a single platform. When a threat is detected, every component responds together. Cameras confirm the location, access control locks the affected zone, and staff are notified in real time. Safe and Sound Security installs CENTEGIX CrisisAlert, a wearable panic button badge worn by teachers and staff. When activated, CrisisAlert alerts law enforcement and triggers a building-wide lockdown. This meets Alyssa’s Law requirements in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and other adopting states. We also install Aiphone IX Series intercoms at entry points for remote door release and two-way audio screening. At Azusa Unified, integrated cameras and access control give police real-time views during an emergency so they can unlock specific doors for student evacuation.
Alyssa's Law Compliance and Wearable Panic Buttons
Alyssa’s Law requires public K-12 schools to install silent panic alert technology that notifies law enforcement directly during emergencies. The law is currently active in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Oregon, and Virginia. Additional states are considering similar legislation.
Safe and Sound Security is a CENTEGIX CrisisAlert installer. CrisisAlert is a wearable panic button badge worn by teachers, counselors, and administrators. When activated, it triggers an instant building-wide alert and notifies law enforcement automatically. Staff do not need to find a wall-mounted device or a phone.
CrisisAlert meets Alyssa’s Law requirements and integrates with access control systems for automatic lockdown. It does not require a smartphone or internet connection to trigger an alert.
If your school district is in a state with Alyssa’s Law on the books, or wants to get ahead of pending legislation, contact Safe and Sound Security to discuss a compliant panic button solution.

FAQs
What does a school security system include?
Video surveillance cameras monitor common areas, hallways, parking lots, and entry points across campus. Access control systems restrict building entry to authorized staff and screened visitors. Burglar and fire alarm systems detect unauthorized intrusion and smoke or heat events. Visitor management screens every guest at check-in against criminal databases before they enter the building. Panic buttons allow staff to trigger an immediate campus-wide lockdown or alert law enforcement. An integrated system connects all of these components into a single management platform so security staff see one coordinated view.
What is Alyssa's Law and how does it affect school security?
Alyssa’s Law (link to https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3661) is state legislation requiring public K-12 schools to install silent panic alert technology that directly notifies law enforcement during emergencies. Named after Alyssa Alhadeff, a student killed in the 2018 Parkland shooting. As of 2026, the law is active in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and other states. Safe and Sound Security installs CENTEGIX CrisisAlert, a wearable panic button badge that meets these requirements.
Can school districts purchase security systems without a formal bid process?
Yes. School districts can purchase security systems through cooperative procurement contracts, skipping the formal bidding process and buying directly from pre-approved vendors. Safe and Sound Security is a PEPPM approved vendor, a procurement program used by K-12 schools and colleges to purchase technology and security equipment. We also participate in CMAS, BuyBoard, Sourcewell, and E&I Cooperative contracts.
