When the Peekskill City Schools District (Peekskill, N.Y.) was looking for a complete lockdown solution consisting of a fully integrated panic alert and camera security system, it turned to Bay Shore, N.Y.-based integrator A+ Technology & Security Solutions.

With the project coming on the heels of the tragic Parkland shooting, A+ Technology hired an outside school security firm, True Security Design, on its own to ensure optimal safety.

Together, the companies designed and built a fully integrated security system where an emergency lockdown could be triggered by any school staff member in any of the school’s seven-building locations, via multiple methods including a panic button, phone call, page, emergency pull-down and web application.
