Security Window Film The decision to use or not use security window film should only be made after a comprehensive security assessment has been conducted. The security assessment should provide guidance as to where security window film should be used and establish the type of security film and attachment methods to be used based upon the level of risk at the specific facility. • Latest PSP RVATS survey for GASD dated October 5, 2021, recommended impact resistant glass or security film be installed on all doors, accessible first floor windows and sidelights. • At a minimum, GASD school police feel the lobby windows and doors should be done, with follow-on project to do ground floor windows.
Security window film is not bullet-resistant! It is only a deterrent to gaining entry by the physical breaking of the glass. If the facility requires protection against bullets, consider the use of bullet-resistant glass and other materials.

Estimated cost (2023) for the high school office lobby – 196 sq/ft x 16.00 - $3,136.00 + sealant and labor.
