Our team implemented a standard uniform for the security guards to make them more distinguishable to everyone on campus. This uniform includes a long-sleeved top, pants, boots, and a hat. We also created an armband for the uniform with the school\u2019s logo and identification number. The uniform will primarily be distributed to the quick response team because they are the first ones arriving if something happens and helping those affected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3\">Security team uniforms will help address the students&#8217; security and protection more efficiently.

We split our time checking out a variety of devices and (unloaded) weapons through a demonstration by HSI special agents. We even got a tour and a short trip in a Lenco BearCat armored vehicle, a SWAT vehicle used for military and law enforcement use.
