Kids Prints is a program to give parents quality fingerprints of their children to give to law enforcement in the event their child ever goes missing.
Bearcade Program - this device deploys quickly on any interior classroom or office door to effectively barricade the door in the event of a hostile intruder incident. The device provides valuable time to the occupants to an intruder for help to get there.
