The Verkada Electronic Visitor Management System checks criminal databases and sex-offender registries, alerting staff to potential risks. It also maintains real-time records of who is on campus to ensure a fast response during emergencies.
With this system in place, we will be better equipped to:
- Ensure that all visitors are properly identified before entering the building
- Monitor and manage campus access in real time
- Enhance our ability to respond quickly to safety concerns
- Maintain accurate visitor logs for accountability and transparency
This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure campus, and is already being utilized by many schools in the diocese. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment while taking thoughtful steps to keep our community safe. To learn more about this program and Verkada, please visit their website here Verkada.
