The school security industry is valued at $3.1 billion. Watch the video to learn how much it costs to secure schools and why it may not be enough.
"We've gone into schools where they've had a one-time shot-in-the-arm funding through a grant or a school board allocation for putting in additional cameras, for example, and we go in three or four years later, the cameras aren't working," said Ken Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services. Trump is not related to former President Donald Trump.
"They have no budget at the school or school district level for maintenance, repair, replacement," Trump added. "Yet, there's this facade, this security theater that they made school safer when, in reality, a lot of the technology and equipment is not being used." On top of inconsistent funding for schools to buy these services, the demand from parents and school districts also tends to ebb and flow based on news events.
This sporadic demand is affecting industry growth. When it comes to companies that provide security equipment and services to control who can access the building, the growth rates can vary from 5% to 15% depending on how many shootings took place in a given year, according to Omdia. Watch the video above to learn about the growing school security industry, what fortification measures schools are taking and how much it costs.
