Ruskin High School, part of the Hickman Mills C-1 School District in Kansas City, MO, recognized the need for upgraded security measures, to continue keeping staff and students safe. The school relied on outdated metal detectors and camera systems, which created operational inefficiencies and limited visibility into potential security threats.
The traditional metal detectors required significant time for student screenings, often leading to delays at the start of the school day.
To address these challenges, Ruskin High School partnered with SWC to implement a comprehensive plan including a modernized metal and weapons detection system, advanced access control, upgraded high-definition camera system, and SWC’s neXus platform. neXus integrates all existing communication and security systems into a single, user-friendly 3D facility map, enabling quick decision-making and response to any potential threats. It allows administrators to take a more proactive approach to security.
The impact of these security enhancements was immediate and significant. The new weapons detection system streamlined the entry process, reducing student screening time from over an hour to just 15-20 minutes. The upgraded camera system improved visibility, allowing administrators to zoom in on critical areas, track incidents in real time, and review footage with enhanced clarity. The addition of neXus makes the school community feel reassured that their safety is a top priority.
Through a strategic partnership with SWC, Ruskin High School has successfully enhanced campus security, improving safety measures while minimizing disruptions to student learning. The integration of advanced security technology and the neXus platform has transformed the way the school monitors and responds to potential threats, creating a safer and more efficient environment for students and staff.
