NBISuncontrol of Sarasota Awarded Contract to Secure Sarasota County Schools with 3M's Window Glazing System

    SARASOTA, FL, April 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In light of the recent horrific school shooting events, school officials across the country are seeking out ways to increase the safety and security of their schools. Sarasota County is no exception.

Sarasota County awarded NBISuncontrol the bid for securing all of the schools in Sarasota County for the safety and security of its children and staff. Pasco and Pinellas Counties have since piggybacked on the County's bid. 3M's Window glazing system has been found to offer the best budget-conscious protection from unwanted intrusion.

"When an intruder shoots at glass, he expects it to shatter, he isn't expecting the effort required to breach the film. The goal is to deter entry or slow it down enough to provide precious response time," says Angelo Ragone, owner of NBISuncontrol, "We are proud to be awarded this project and do our part to protect our community's children and educators."

Statistically speaking, active intruders take the path of least resistance. In the case of Sandy Hook, the assailant gained access to the locked school facility simply by shooting and shattering the plate glass entry doors. 3M's Window glazing system negates this form of immediate entry. When the assailant shoots the window, the bullet leaves a hole but doesn't shatter. The assailant is forced to tear the film in order to breach the facility, increasing the time it takes him to enter from seconds to minutes. Minutes that could mean the difference between life and death.

Curtis S. Lavarello, Executive Director of the School Safety Advocacy Council, echoes this sentiment, "Time is the most precious commodity in protecting individuals in critical situations."

Angelo Ragone, Owner of NBISuncontrol says, "Sometimes the threat is from people, other times nature. No matter where the threat comes from, our 3M security films keep your family and your property better protected. We're proud to be able to say that."
