Communication Company Provides School Safety in Indiana
Ensuring the safety of students, teachers and staff is always a top priority for schools. In Indiana, the School Safety Guidelines lay out a comprehensive set of standards that schools must meet to provide a safe and secure environment for all, including prompt questions for administrators to consider. Communication Company is proud to offer a wide range of products and services that can help schools meet these guidelines, keeping students, staff and property guarded.
Does your school have controlled access to the building?
Do local first responders have the appropriate access to facility entrances on all sides?
The Fundamental Elements for School Safety
Integrated Enterprise Solutions
Students, teachers, staff and parents all depend on schedules for a smooth school day. Telecenter U makes managing those schedules virtually effortless with school bell systems, intercoms, clocks and more — for every schedule at every school, from anywhere in your network.
Card Access Systems
A card access system allows you to control who has access to your school buildings or specific doors within those buildings. Our card access systems are highly customizable and can be programmed to grant access on a campus-wide or building/door-specific basis.
Whether you need to control access to sensitive areas or protect your employees and students from unauthorized visitors, we have a scalable solution that will work for you, featuring capabilities such as intruder detection and video management.
Door Intercom Solutions with Video Capabilities
Door intercom solutions with video capabilities provide an extra layer of security for your school. With our door intercom system in place, you'll be able to see who is at your door before you let them in — giving you peace of mind that your students and staff are protected.
Does your facility have the tools to gain status reports from individual classrooms during an incident?
Intercom and Paging Systems
Intercom and paging systems are an essential part of any school's emergency management plan. They allow for quick and easy notifications in case of an emergency, be it a fire, weather event or active shooter situation. Intercom and paging systems from Communication Company can be easily integrated into existing networks and are capable of sending single-building or campus-wide notifications.
Do teachers and/or facility staff have a method to send out a notification if an emergency is occurring? How are life threat alerts disseminated to key school safety stakeholders?
Automated Emergency Management Systems
In the event of an emergency, every second counts. That's why Communication Company offers automated emergency management systems that can notify staff, students, and first responders of an emergency situation with the push of a button. These systems can be tailored to fit the needs of any school, whether it's a single-site or districtwide notification system.
Have your school leaders discussed the expected response time with local first responders? Indiana school safety guidelines encourage the administration to coordinate with emergency personnel in determining an estimated arrival time. Our automated systems ensure a connection is made to outside help in the most crucial of moments.
Do local first responders have the ability to have immediate connectivity into the facilities’ camera system, if applicable? If so, is the camera location identified on the floor plans?
CCTV Security Surveillance Systems
In today's world, CCTV security surveillance systems are an important part of any school's safety plan. A CCTV security surveillance system is a great way to deter crime and keep an eye on things when you can't be there in person. Our CCTV systems from leading manufacturers come with a variety of features, including night vision, motion detection and real-time monitoring.
Designed to provide you with the highest-quality images possible, our video surveillance components provide you with real-time monitoring capabilities, which can be accessed remotely by law enforcement in the event of an emergency.

Vape & THC Detection
Vaping has become a popular way for teens to consume nicotine and cannabis products — and it's also becoming a fire hazard in schools. That's why Communication Company offers vape and THC detection devices, such as the HALO Smart Sensor, that can be installed in bathrooms, locker rooms, classrooms, and buses — anywhere vaping might take place on school property.
HALO is a key component in the solution to providing a low-risk environment by monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate concentrations, humidity, volatile organic compounds (VOC), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air. This multi-sensor is capable of vape detection, smoke detection, THC detection, and sound abnormalities like gunshots and shouting in areas a camera cannot be placed. HALO delivers safe, healthy, and comfortable environments that keep all personnel safe while saving money by efficiently running the HVAC system.
Clocks and Time-Keeping Systems
Wired, wireless, and POE clocks and time-keeping systems help schools keep track of time and ensure that everyone is on the same page. Our clocks come with a variety of features, including daylight savings time adjustment, battery backup and more.
Customizable Everyday Communication Systems
There are many everyday communication needs that need to be taken into account in order to maintain a safe and secure environment at school. Things like bell scheduling and calendar management may seem like small details but they’re essential to keeping everything running smoothly. With customizable communication systems from Communication Company, schools are assured even the smallest details are taken care of.
