Gun safety isn’t a new issue in the U.S., of course — it’s a hot-button political issue, to say the least. Regardless, there is no debate that every organization wants to keep its community safe. So, like almost every other aspect of life that has undergone transformational change over the past decade, the main driver of change in the immediate term will be cutting-edge technology.

Genetec Inc. shared its top five predictions for the physical security industry in 2021.

The Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association (RLPSA) is converting its annual in-person conference to a “To Go” (virtual) format March 2 – 4, 2021. The “To Go” format will provide the foodservice community a virtual way to obtain relevant loss prevention, safety and risk content. 

Now more than ever, K-12 leaders are faced with the need to implement security solutions and strategies that adequately protect students, staff and visitors from potential threats.

Schools now have the opportunity to use and expand on existing building technologies to address evolving needs while providing greater protection and peace of mind.

For years, there has been optimistic talk that drones – the popular name for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) – would become ubiquitous and used for security purposes. And now, it’s happening. The drone-industry is becoming an increasingly promising technology-intensive industry, one that will employ far more workers than it does today while enhancing the efficiency and security of a variety of businesses.
