What is the Raptor Access Control System?

Raptor is a visitor registration system. This registration system will read visitors’ drivers’ licenses, checking the sex offender database to see if there is a match. If there is a match. the system will then alert the faculty member in charge. Assuming there no match, systems printer will then print off a sticker badge with the visitor’s information.

What is the purpose of the Raptor System?

The main purpose of this system is to keep the school, facility, and children safe and providing access control. With this Raptor System, it tracks unsafe visitors to the school before the visitor is able to make contact with any children.

The system can do several things:

• The visitor coming in the school should have either of the following forms identifications: drivers’ license, military card, gun licenses, or passport. The system can read pretty much any kind of license that has your name, address and photo. If a visitor does not have any of the following, they should bring something with their name and date of birth recorded on it.
• The Raptor system will check the online sex offender registry to make sure the visitor is safe and able to fully access the school grounds. For any reason that there is a match, the system will send an alert message either by email, phone or text, to the designated faculty member in charge to come meet the visitor. This Person will escort the unwanted visitor off the school grounds. If there is no match, the Raptor system will then print off a visitor sticker badge with the name, picture of visitor, date, time and destination where they are going. The system will record all the information into the system to track the visitors hours and if the facility has any questions.
• Once the visitor is done at the school, they would sign out by telling the facility member in charge and they will sign out the visitor on their computer system. This is a way to provide entry and departure from the school building.

Scanning ID information each time

Each time a visitor comes to the school, the school has the ability to either have the visitor scan their ID or just have them print off a sticker badge. Some schools will have the visitor scan their ID each time they visit the school for safety precautions. This is due to the fact that the visitor’s information might change from the last time that they have been to the school.

Having upgraded access control security systems like the Raptor System can ensure parents that their children are safe at school.
