Advantages of Adopting Two-Way Radios for College Campus Security

Introduction:

There have been major spate in the incidence of shootings in the precincts of educational institutions in the past and also currently, the situation is far from improving. In terms of statistics, there have been 28 recorded school shootings in the USA during the year 2013, and even in 2014, the first month itself witnessed 11 shootings within educational premises, thus making school shootings a very macabre, yet real situation. Earlier in January 2013, a student of Purdue University opened fire and gravely injured a fellow student. Just three days later, a man was charged with shooting a student in South Carolina State University.

There is indeed urgent need for overhauling, intensifying and strengthening campus security in educational institutions and this is where there are indeed great benefits in adopting two-way radios by security personnel in charge of college campus security.

Walkie-Talkies are very cost effective: When compared to mobile telephony, walkie talkies are very cost effective, robust and useful. Given its wide benefits, it really offers a good cost-effective method of supporting and enhancing accessibility and communication within college campus. Security personnel responsible for security would be able to communicate fast and long with each other and could also alert and take effective measures during emergencies.

Getting signals under walkie-talkie is better than that under mobile or other communication system:

Getting signals in some areas may be challenging in case of mobile phones, but this is not so in the case of walkie-talkies. Also field communication with in house security personnel is rendered very effective for security personnel.

Threats could be averted rather than countermanded and real challenges in security could be better addressed and saved rather than attempted to cure. With better range, power, sound output and solid communication, walkie talkies could indeed supplement and enforce two – work urgent communication between in house securities per se, in house with field operative and also among distantly placed field security operatives

Walkie talkies keep on improving with time and offer excellent state-of-the-art technological benefits:

Nowadays walkie talkies are equipped with multi channels, 500 MW of full power, voice activation (VOX) capacities and voice verification modes. They follow easy ‘push to talk’ competencies that are quick during emergencies and could also be equipped with extra compasses (tracking), stopwatches, thermometers, barometers, clocks and so on. The full benefits of walkie talkies could be seen in terms of needs, range to be covered, number of persons for whom security communication is needed, duration and technical needs  and so on.

Excellent communication aid during emergencies:

Perhaps one of the redeemable facets of walkie talkie is cost benefit and major utility value when compared to mobile telephony. While the latter is constrained by  range limitations, exorbitant costs, limited battery power and a horde of other deficits, walkie talkie serves as instant and highly reliable  communication aid , especially during life-or-death emergencies in schools and colleges , as has been recently seen on number of occasions.

  

Conclusion:

It is believed by this author that the future would indeed see a great deal of use of this vital and indispensable communication aid, especial for enhanced safety and security by security personnel in charge of protection in school and college premises and precincts.
