Security for Educational Institutions
A safe learning environment is a positive one. With increasing concerns over safety incidents, vandalism, and other security risks, educational institutions must prioritize proactive safety measures to protect students and staff. DK Security understands the complex security challenges faced by educational institutions across the Midwest, including:
- K-12 schools
- Colleges
- Universities
Our trained security professionals work closely with school administrators to assess potential risks and implement prevention strategies. From emergency preparedness to daily campus patrols, we offer a wide range of services to safeguard students, staff, and facilities.
Prepare for Emergencies
From medical emergencies to vandalism and active aggressors, emergencies can happen at any time. Our team will help your school plan for any possibility with our comprehensive emergency preparedness services that include:
- Rapid response to incidents
- Coordinated evacuation plans
- Drills and live training

Protect Students and Staff
When you work with DK Security, you get school security guards who are as effective as they are friendly.

Whether you choose unarmed or armed security officers, our team will work hard to protect your people and property.

Defend Against Vandalism
Beyond damaging school property, vandalism can disrupt the learning environment and may even cause setbacks in the school calendar to account for repairs. DK Security helps reduce these incidents with vigilant patrols and active monitoring.
- Remote security camera monitoring
- Mobile patrols to monitor multiple areas on your campus
- Immediate response to suspicious behavior
- Timely reporting of incidents to school authorities
Assess Security Plans
Your school might already have security plans in place, but it’s smart to regularly assess and modify them to make sure they’re exactly what you need. At DK Security, we can conduct detailed assessments of your school’s existing security plans to make sure no gaps are left unaddressed. Our security audits and assessments will identify vulnerabilities, propose upgrades to security infrastructure, and customize security protocols to fit your institution.
Screen Employees
Beyond providing security guards for schools, we can support your institution’s safety on the human resources side, too. A secure learning environment begins with trustworthy staff, and DK Security provides background screening services to ensure you get the best personnel possible.
- Thorough criminal background checks
- Verification of employment history
- Live scan fingerprinting
