College campuses across the United States have seen a huge wave of protests arise over the past few weeks, but when will the tide change? It does not appear to be anytime soon… Campus law enforcement and security staff may have a difficult task managing these protests and are looking for solutions to help them get through these challenging situations.
In some of these protests, administrators have relied on outside law enforcement agencies to help quell the protestors, make arrests and restore peace. These protests are taking place in open and closed areas of the campus.
One step, we believe, that could help security and law enforcement manage these crowds is preventing them from accessing certain areas of the campus and control the perimeter
Prevent Access With High Security Fence
Remember the 5 D’s of physical security. Deter, Deny, Detect, Delay, and Defend. Deploying High Security Fence around areas of your campus will Deter and Deny entry into areas administrators have deemed “closed” for protests.
Having security fencing around the perimeter of these “closed areas” can aid in preventing large groups from collecting and influencing damage to campus assets.
High Security Fencing creates a defined barrier and prevents unauthorized access to areas of importance.
Be Prepared With Mobile Vehicle Barriers
Although there have been no reports of any vehicle threats at any of these protests, it is possible that tensions rise to such a level that some extremists take another route.
With many college graduation and commencement ceremonies taking place in the next month, mobile vehicle barriers can mitigate potential injury or death from vehicle-borne attacks.
ARX Perimeters has rental mobile vehicle barriers ready to deploy for your ceremony.
