By reading case studies, you can learn how and why window film was used in actual educational environments. This allows you to understand the true power of window film in schools. The school security window film case study below is an excellent example of how it can be used effectively to protect Kansas City students.

3M School Security Window Film Case Study Situation

Active shooter protection has become a high priority for schools across the United States. Glass windows and doors are typically the weakest points of security, so they should be reinforced first. Unfortunately, Jewish organizations need to be extra vigilant when it comes to security threats. This is why a security consultant (and former FBI agent) advised Jewish schools in Cincinnati to seek out window film solutions to address gun and bomb threats.

3M School Security Window Film Case Study Solution 

After extensive research, the Jewish Schools decided that window film was the best solution for increased security measures. They chose 3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Film because it appeared to be the most cost-effective and efficient option. This type of system includes a specialty adhesive that holds broken glass together in case of impact (e.g., from a bullet) and stops anyone trying to break into the school through a window.

3M School Security Window Film Case Study Results 

The results from using the film were very significant. The school said they love how it’s virtually impossible to see, meaning that potential attackers would never know it was there. It ended up being the most budget-friendly and effective solution to secure the school’s glass windows and doors as well. Now, students and staff can feel safer knowing their building is better protected against gun violence cases.
