75% Faster Check-In: How Albany Schools Transformed Event Screening With Raptor EventSafe™
Long Lines and Open-Door Policies
Without a dedicated event check-in system, the City School District of Albany struggled to efficiently and securely manage visitor screening and flow during events. They relied on an open-door policy for many after-hours events when high-volume events like concerts and ceremonies often left families waiting outside, sometimes in freezing temperatures, well past the scheduled start time.
How EventSafe Sped Up Event Check-In
Raptor EventSafe pairs with Raptor VisitorSafe to quickly and securely screen every guest at every event. Using EventSafe helped Albany school events run smoothly with
- pre-verification for guests through the Raptor Safe App
- faster check-ins with QR codes tied to verified IDs
- portable tablets and Bluetooth printers for more flexible setup
- more consistent ID screening, no matter the time of day
Faster, Safer Events Across the District
With EventSafe, the district cut check-in times by 75%, from an average of three minutes per visitor down to as little as 45 seconds for pre-verified guests. Staff can now scale check-in stations up or down as event flow changes, applying the same consistent screening standards to events happening during the school day or in the evening.
“EventSafe streamlined our event entry process as well as our security process.” says Jason Davis, Director of Safe Schools and Violence Prevention.
