Why Schools Need Better Protection
74% of school shootings are from unauthorized entry
63% of incidents in K-12 happen around entrances
40% of districts still rely on manual door monitoring
“Scout proved it can work in the real world. It gives us visibility we’ve never had before, and the team has been ethical and responsive.”
Jason Stoddard (Director of School Safety & Security)
“Scout gives me eyes on the parts of the school I can’t physically watch. The alerts and video clips help me respond fast, especially in the back of the building. It’s been a huge help in keeping our students safe.”
James Brown (Youth Engagement Advocate)
A Privacy-First Approach
- No personal info collected – Names, student IDs, emails, and phone numbers are never tracked.
- No video or audio stored – Scout only logs essential metadata like “Door 4 propped open at 8:17 AM.”
- Customizable detection – You control what Scout watches for.
Why did we build Scout?
It’s simple: schools should be places of learning and growth, not fear and anxiety. But too often, safety concerns get in the way.
Scout wasn’t born in a lab. It was built by a team of parents, educators, technologists—and yes, even former therapists—who have sat with kids navigating real trauma. We’ve seen firsthand how fear can shape a school environment. And we believe technology should help, not add to the problem.
