RiskWatch for Campus Security™ is the most comprehensive assessment tool available for physical security reviews at universities, colleges and schools of all kinds. The recent school tragedy at Virginia Tech showed how basic elements which could have been identified by a full risk assessment were ignored-including both the bomb threats, and the assurance of a school-wide emergency communication system.

This program was developed in conjunction with the National Institute of Justice and Eastern Kentucky University, College of Justice and Safety as part of a nationwide assessment program for public schools. RiskWatch for Campus Security™ includes a simple web-based questionnaire application that can be customized by the user.

RiskWatch covers every major area of security assessment including locks and key controls, roof access, doors and windows, CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design), security controls, security police and guard services, security policies and procedures and much more. The software automatically writes detailed management reports backed up with a complete set of working papers, as well as solid recommendations on what controls are still needed, how much they cost and how much protection they provide for a given campus environment.

RiskWatch can be installed on your desktop PC or network server and eliminates 50% - 70% of the work of doing a manual risk analysis. Default data on threat frequencies and a complete cost catalog of controls is included.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has analyzed the state of emergency preparedness at U.S. schools and concluded that schools' emergency plans are insufficient. The GAO finds, for example, that roughly 50 percent of all school districts lack a plan for educating students in the event that schools are closed for a long time. Districts are also failing to include first responders when implementing their emergency plans, and 28 percent of districts with emergency plans do not have plans for evacuating disabled students. Also, about 66 percent of districts are hampered by a lack of preparedness knowledge and equipment, including communications equipment and good locks for their buildings.
