Modernizing School Safety at East Jordan Public Schools

Enhancing Campus Safety at East Jordan Public Schools

East Jordan Public Schools (EJPS) set out to create a safer, more connected campus environment, one that improved visibility, supported faster response, and made better use of existing technology without straining staff or budgets.

The Challenge

EJPS needed to improve campus safety and emergency readiness despite aging infrastructure and tight budgets. Their existing systems for surveillance and access control were disjointed, underutilized, and didn’t support real-time alerts or effective coordination with local responders—making consistent execution of safety procedures difficult.

The Solution

Salient’s open video management platform, CompleteView, provided the flexibility EJPS was looking for. It preserved existing cameras and door hardware, supported integrations with access control and other safety systems, and offered a scalable foundation for future upgrades.

Key Outcomes Highlighted in the Case Study

With Salient’s solution, EJPS:

• Improved day-to-day situational awareness across campuses

• Empowered staff to use video for everything from incident review to routine checks

• Enabled faster, informed decisions by school resource officers and administrators

• Enhanced collaboration with local law enforcement through secure live-video access

• Used data-backed insights to secure significant grant funding for continued enhancements

Built for Education Environments

Salient’s platform helped EJPS move beyond fragmented tools to a unified, scalable approach that supports safety, visibility, and operational efficiency, so staff can focus on students, not technology.
