Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for security systems for schools and similar structures. Various security devices may be monitored in a structure, such as a school, where at least one of the security devices includes a wall-mounted duress alarm, an electronic keypad, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, a card access reader, a decibel meter, a smoke detector, or a mobile computing device. In response to a signal from one of the security devices being indicative of a breach having occurred in the structure, a predetermined breach policy may be automatically implemented that may include, for example, compartmentalizing a region of the structure by performing an automated closing of a door that separates the region of the structure from another region of the structure.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing security to a structure. A network of security devices may be accessed and/or controlled by one or more monitoring devices, wherein each of the one or more monitoring devices are configured to monitor one or more signals emitted by one or more security devices. In response to a signal received from at least one of the security devices indicating a breach of the structure, a compartmentalization of the structure may be initiated, wherein the compartmentalization comprises initiating a lockdown of the structure utilizing at least one of the one or more security devices.
