Key Features of GAT Force’s Security Solutions:

1. AI-Powered Threat Detection and Monitoring
   Our AI-driven platform continuously monitors for potential threats, leveraging real-time data analysis and pattern recognition to identify suspicious activities. By analyzing a wide range of inputs, such as CCTV feeds, access control logs, and digital communications, GAT Force can quickly detect anomalies that may signal a security risk.

   GAT Force’s integrated communication tools streamline emergency responses by directly connecting district and school administrators with local law enforcement, first responders, and internal crisis teams. This system ensures immediate action when a threat is identified, reducing response times and minimizing potential harm.
3. Campus Access Control and Visitor Management
   Using advanced access control technologies, we help schools restrict and monitor campus access, ensuring that only authorized personnel, students, and visitors can enter specific areas. Our visitor management solutions track and verify all entrants in real time, which is especially critical for schools like St. Joseph the Worker with multiple points of entry.

   We offer tailored training programs for students, staff, and administrators on protocols for emergency scenarios, including lockdowns, evacuations, and shelter-in-place procedures. GAT Force also conducts regular drills and assessments to reinforce these protocols and identify areas for improvement.

This is essential as schools increasingly rely on online platforms and digital resources for both learning and administration.
