It's nothing new and lately it seems that school shootings are happening with more and more frequency. Not just campus and workplace shootings, but just the fact that handguns and weapons are being found in places such as these, there should be more cause for concern...
We will not, nor cannot, speculate or identify the reasons why more and more stories like this one are being revealed. In this case, two high school students were arrested after authorities at the school found a handgun in a school locker. It is fair to reason that the only way the school officials discovered the weapon was because a concerned student had notified school administrators that it had been brought onto school grounds. After a search of lockers--in this case gym lockers--officials found and seized the gun.
Crisis averted...barely.
What could've happened if that student hadn't notified school officials? Some may shudder, but the reality is that as schools and businesses become more focused on overall security, as well as student/employee safety, they will begin to take harder and longer looks at clear view lockers.
The answer a clear view locker can provide is making the typical hiding place for a dangerous weapon (or illegal drugs for that matter) no longer viable. The gun or other contraband would be seen if it were stored in a clear view locker.
Another advantage about clear view lockers is that if this school had adopted them, they probably would have found the weapon much quicker than having to open each individual locker. Notice in the story it states; "started an investigation at the southwest side of the school" which means school officials had to unlock each and every one of them to even get the slightest peek. Clear view lockers are easier to perform quick visual searches because you can see the contents a 100 percent of the time, 24/7.
But the uses of clear view lockers don't stop at preventing workplace violence or shootings. The clear view lockers are becoming popular in retail where stores are trying to reduce shrinkage and employee theft. The durable, heavy duty polycarbonate clear section of the door easily accomplishes what a solid steel door simply cannot provide--visual inspection of the locker's contents.
There are many reasons to think about having clear view lockers as an option. They are just as secure as regular metal lockers. Due to their increasing popularity, clear view lockers come in as many sizes and configurations as regular metal lockers. And finally as we've mentioned above, clear view lockers in some cases offer additional benefits and solutions than the regular lockers you find.
So, give us a call and find out why clear view lockers can solve security concerns and make your school and workplace safer and prevent loss.
