LobbyGuard’s visitor management kiosk can instantly check all campus visitors against national and state sex offender registries, and other criminal databases, and notify appropriate school and district personnel if a match is made.
Within seconds of a visitor signing in to the kiosk, LobbyGuard runs a background check and prints a photo ID badge with a self-expiring barcode. The photo ID badge provides faculty and staff with the assurance that the visitor has followed the proper sign-in procedures.
The system currently operates in hundreds of public and private schools and school administrative facilities across the US.
West Virginia schools do not currently require background checks, but St Albans said that it believes this security measure should not be overlooked. The LobbyGuard kiosk will improve the school’s ability to more accurately ensure that an individual coming into a school is not a registered sex offender, does not have outstanding warrants for his/her arrest, and does have custody rights to the specific student he/she would like to pick up.
LobbyGuard joins other security measures at the school, which include a secure building design and limited access points.
