Higher Education Security Services
University and college campuses are a community within themselves. They have their own set of guidelines in which all staff, students and visitors are expected to operate, but they are also a strong part of the community at large. As such it is critical to balance the security needs of each campus with the external threats at play.
Mikovi Securities is proud to support the important work and learning taking place on Canadian campuses today with comprehensive higher education campus security solutions.
