Many schools, offices, and government buildings are exposed to intruders that can easily penetrate tempered and annealed glass, which is common in standard entryways and first-floor windows. With recent school shootings grabbing national attention, employing active shooter mitigation measures has become a top priority. To help protect people and property during such awful events, many school districts, colleges, and office buildings are integrating active shooter mitigation safety products, like Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Films, DefenseLite or BulletShield™. These advanced security glazing solutions are designed to delay forced entry and control glass failure.

When installed properly, “active shooter mitigation” or “active shooter window film” can be a highly-effective solution for vulnerable exposed glass. Under attack, the security window film should slow an attacker from gaining entrance through window or door glass giving building occupants additional time to respond to chaotic events.
Window Film Depot also installs advanced retrofit products like DefenseLite and BulletShield polycarbonate shields for more robust forced entry protection and ballistic resistance. These frame-mounted overglaze products act as a deterrent by helping deny immediate entry and possibly mitigating the threat altogether. In these precious few minutes, lockdown systems and shooter mitigation protocols can be put into effect and first responders have extra time to intervene.
Since 1992, Window Film Depot – a three-time National Dealer of the Year for 3M – has installed safety and security window film on office buildings, retail storefronts, schools, and other buildings subject to intrusions and threats. Specializing in security film products from 3M, Window Film Depot can install films that bond to existing glass and also offer UV resistance and sun blocking capabilities.
