School Security Blog from Wren Serves as Information Resource for
Education Leaders
ATLANTA (Business Wire EON) April 2, 2008 --
Wren, a provider of network video solutions, has launched a new blog
on school security to serve as a resource and forum for leaders in
education such as superintendents, principals, board members and
security resource officers. The blog provides a mix of valuable
information to help professionals in the education market learn from one
another and includes commentary on school security issues, trends,
industry events and best practices, as well as links to industry
articles.
“The genesis of the Wren Education blog was
our own frustration in searching for up-to-date school security
information. In an attempt to understand schools, their security goals
and challenges, Wren has invested significant resources in events,
primary market research and reports. At the end of the day, we found
that information on school security is still highly fragmented and hard
to find,” said Bret Rachlin, director of
marketing and author of the blog. “Our blog
aims to become a convenient source of information that administrators
will reference on a regular basis to start generating ideas about how
they can improve security at their own schools. We also look forward to
administrators and security experts joining the discussions and sharing
their experiences and thoughts so others can learn from them as well.”
With a 25 year history in the surveillance industry, Wren has extensive
insight into school security issues as well as the challenges they face
in terms of budgeting, selecting and maintaining security systems. In
2007, Wren conducted two extensive primary market research studies to
better understand schools' security challenges and the tools they are
using to combat problems. The Midwest
School Security and Texas
School Security Survey both provided in-depth, regional insight into
security problems faced by middle and high schools. Recently Wren's
Video Management System (VMS) Software was named by District
Administration as a Top 100 Product, as chosen by their readers,
school administrators. Additionally, blog author Bret Rachlin is
certified in Designing Safe Schools and Universities from the University
of Louisville.
“Wren's education blog is a great resource for
me to review critical security topics at a glance. School administrators
are so time-starved, that they don't have time to invest in thoroughly
researching these topics. The blog provides regular updates on current
topics and is a place to interact with other administrators facing
similar challenges,” noted Steve Ellis, an
expert in school security out of California.
Recent discussion topics include reactions to a stabbing at Hempstead
High School in New York, proactive school security in Robinson, IL, and
event summaries from the Safe Schools and Healthy Students Summit 2008,
held in Corpus Christi in February. To read and post comments on the
