What makes education security difficult — and how we answer it
The left column is the problem as operators in this sector actually experience it. The right column is what we deploy against it.
What makes it hard
Open campus culture
Campuses are designed to be welcoming, which complicates access control.
Peak movement
Start and end of day produce concentrated pedestrian and vehicle movement.
Visitor and event volume
Parents, contractors and event attendees move through regularly.
Duty of care
Institutions carry a heightened duty of care toward young people.
How we answer it
Approachable officers
Officers trained in customer service and crowd management.
Traffic and crowd control
Trained traffic control at gates during peak movement.
Visitor screening
Registration, passes and screening scaled to the event.
Emergency response
First aid, CPR and emergency response training as standard.

Questions
Questions about education security
The questions procurement teams and property managers ask most often. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Rapid deployment is a standing operational capability, coordinated through our 24/7 operations centre. Call 6225 1269 and we will confirm what can be mobilised and when.
Officers complete WSQ training and receive instruction in counter terrorism awareness, traffic control, crowd management, first aid, CPR, security risk assessment, customer service and emergency response.
Deployments are supervised by company supervisors who conduct site visits and audits, supported by the operations centre. Supervision is verified, not assumed.
