• Theft: Burglaries occur 3-1/2 times more often in schools than in businesses.**
• Fire: Over 1,600 fires are recorded annually in schools. Most of these are due to incendiary or suspicious causes, based on National Fire Protection Association research.**
• Intrusion: In 2000, Sonitrol dispatches resulted in authorities apprehending 2,015 criminals nationwide. 987 of those apprehensions occurred in educational facilities.**
• Liability and Personal Safety: Each hour of every school day, 900 teachers are threatened, over 2,000 students and nearly 40 teachers are physically attacked on school grounds, according to the National Education Association.
