School Security Blog from Wren Serves as Information Resource for Education Leaders
ATLANTA (Business Wire EON) April 2, 2008 -- "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.
