K-12 districts, charter and private schools, community colleges, and four-year campuses rely on JB Technologies for classroom lockdown, weapons detection, parent-pickup video, mass notification, and dorm access — engineered around state school-safety mandates and your district SRO's response plan.
A school security system has to do two jobs: handle a worst-case event in seconds, and run the daily flow of students, parents, vendors, and after-hours events without burning out the school resource officer. JB Technologies designs both halves of that system — classroom-level lockdown integrated with mass notification, video analytics tuned for weapons detection, vestibule and visitor management at every entrance, parent-pickup video for elementary campuses, after-hours access for athletics and community-school use, and dorm-room and lab access for higher-ed. We work with public districts, charter networks, private schools, and colleges across metro Atlanta and the Southeast.
Each setting carries its own threat model, regulatory regime, and community workflow.
Single-point-of-entry vestibules, parent-pickup video, classroom lockdown buttons, and playground/perimeter coverage.
Weapons-detection at main entries, athletic-event after-hours access, locker-area cameras, and integration with district SRO and PD radio.
Smaller-budget campuses needing the same lockdown and visitor controls as public districts, often without a dedicated IT/security team.
Transportation hubs, central office, warehouses, and athletic complexes — each with its own access and video needs but tied to the district VMS.
Multi-building campuses with student-card access, after-hours classroom unlock, and continuing-ed events that require flexible access policy.
Residence halls, recreation centers, research labs, athletic facilities, and parking — typically with deep integration to the campus card system.
Wireless lockdown buttons in every classroom and office tied to the access control system so a single press locks all exterior doors, alerts the SRO and PD, and triggers digital signage and PA — meeting Alyssa's Law and equivalent state requirements.
AI-based weapons detection (Evolv, ZeroEyes, Omnilert) at main entries, integrated with the VMS so SROs see the alert with context — not just a generic camera popup.
Single-point-of-entry vestibules with intercom, ID scan, sex-offender registry check, and badge printing — Raptor, Verkada Guest, or LobbyConnect tied to your SIS.
Cameras and queue-management tools for elementary dismissal lines, with parent-app integration that ties license plate to student record so the right child gets to the right car.
Code red, severe weather, and lockdown messages pushed to PA, digital signage, SMS, and parent-communication platforms — with the SRO and superintendent both able to trigger.
Campus-card integration for residence halls (room-level access, RA codes, holiday closures), 24-hour lab and rec-center access, and athletic-facility access for ID-card holders.
School-safety law has moved fast. Every system we deliver is designed against the current state mandates and federal best practices.
Georgia HB 147 requires K-12 districts to maintain a school safety plan with annual drills; Alyssa's Law and the equivalent in neighboring states require silent-panic alarms tied to law enforcement. We engineer the panic alarm path and document it for the state safety plan.
Camera placement, video retention, and visitor-record handling designed around FERPA student-record protections and COPPA where parent-app integrations touch under-13 data.
NFPA 72 fire alarm + the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) tier 1-4 framework for layered school security. Submittals reference the PASS tier the design satisfies.
We have working relationships with metro Atlanta SROs, district safety officers, and PD radio teams — alerts go where they need to go, not into a generic queue.
Every lockdown sequence is tested with the school in a real drill before sign-off; drill records are formatted for the state safety-plan reviewer.
Access, video, weapons detection, mass notification, and visitor management on a single VMS pane so the front office can run it, not just the SRO.
Our education service line carries the manufacturer training (Evolv, Raptor, Brivo, Verkada, Genetec) that audit-ready districts expect.
We walk every campus with the SRO and safety officer, map your threat model to the PASS tier framework, and produce a phased plan that fits the state safety-plan requirements.
Designs and pricing structured for E-SPLOST, school-safety grants, and bond-program reporting — your CFO gets the artifact they need without rework.
Major installs scheduled around the school calendar, with SRO drill validation before the first day of school.
Quarterly service visits during planning periods, on-call for active events, and an annual review aligned to the state safety-plan refresh.
Alyssa's Law (passed in NJ, FL, NY, TN, others) requires silent panic alarms tied directly to law enforcement. Georgia's HB 147 requires district safety plans and annual drills; many districts now spec Alyssa's-equivalent silent panic as a best practice. We engineer the alarm path to meet whichever standard your district has adopted.
Modern systems (Evolv, ZeroEyes) are accurate enough that the SRO sees a classified alert with image context within seconds. False-positive rates are non-zero — we tune the system, train the staff on the alert workflow, and integrate to the VMS so context is one click away. They are a layer, not a silver bullet.
Front-office should be able to handle daily visitor management, parent-pickup, and standard access events. We design the UI footprint accordingly. IT and the SRO own the back-end policy. Training is part of every deployment.
We push visitor-management to PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or Skyward; parent-pickup workflows to PikMyKid, ClassDojo, or your own portal; and mass notification to ParentSquare, Remind, or Blackboard Connect.
Lockdown button press locks all exterior doors, sends silent alarm to PD radio, locks classroom doors via mag-lock or smart-lock, pushes message to digital signage and PA, and tags every camera at the perimeter. We rehearse with the SRO and document the sequence for the safety-plan reviewer.
Yes — flexible access policy is a strength of the platforms we deploy. Athletic-event passes, weekend community-school use, and rental groups all get scoped credentials with start/end times and the events log goes to the AD and facility-rental coordinator.
New construction, expansion, or retrofit — we will assess your operations and design a system that fits your facility, your audit regime, and your budget.
