Last week, an Illinois inmate attempted to escape from custody at a local courthouse. After being trapped in a skyway, the inmate tried to jump through the bullet-resistant glass smacking his head and enabling police officers to secure him in handcuffs.

Total Security Solutions offers three styles of package passers: SPE Bullet Resisting Package Passer, Rotary Package Passer and the PE Package Passer. The Rotary Package Passer features an inner revolving unit that opens to only one side at a time enabling customers to pass packages to employees without a breach of security. The SPE Bullet Resisting Package Passer is a rectangular steel box with a door on both sides, the customer side and the employee side. The interlocking mechanism allows only one door to be open at a time.
The PE Package Passer also uses an interlocking mechanism whereby only one door may be opened at a time, either on the employee or customer side. Designed for moderate to frequent use, the PE Package Passer is built from transparent bullet resistant material and requires little or no maintenance.
In the Handbook of Glass in Construction by Joseph S. Amstock, it states, “Large storefront glass windows at street levels are one of the best ways retailers [ . . . ] have to showcase their merchandise or services. But these areas are increasingly at risk, particularly from ’smash and grab’ vandalism.” It goes on to state that nearly 70 percent of reported burglaries involved forced entry through windows or doors.
The Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (MPCA) recently reported an increasing threat from “smash and grab” robberies for local convenience stores. The MPCA issued a list of security tips to help convenience stores prevent this type of robbery. To “help protect your employees and provide security for your property,” convenience stores should consider:
installing “Bandit Barriers” to keep robbers from getting behind the register counter,

Earlier this year, Total Security Solutions underwent a site redesign to enhance our site’s offerings and further demonstrate our commitment to highly responsive customer service. Our Resources and Planning Tools section enables architects, contractors and other industries to easily view and download product images, detailed spec information as well as CAD drawings. Total Security Solutions also has a partnership with ARCAT to provide easy access to even more CAD drawings, LEED data and a convenient to use spec wizard tool.
Using the SpecWizard by ARCAT, you can easily select the bullet-resistant products you are interested in, configure the products by specifying your desired options and output a detailed Word or Rich Text Format spec form.
For companies seeking to meet LEED requirements, ARCAT also provides users a quick overview of how our bullet-resistant products compare to similar products, as well as identifying any specific credits that our products satisfy.
If you have any additional questions on using the SpecWizard, please contact Total Security Solutions at 800-513-1468 or info@demandtss.com.
While the industry term for our line of products is bullet-resistant, the more common term is bulletproof. Things like bulletproof vests, however, are not actually bulletproof, but bullet-resistant.
So what does it take to be truly bulletproof? In researching this topic, we found several people asking just that question. Six inches of lead sheathing or one foot of solid concrete could be called “bulletproof,” but the bullet-resistant products available through Total Security Solutions provide excellent stopping power against most common handguns, shotguns or rifles and can be employed in ways that are almost invisible to the undiscerning eye.
So now that we know the correct term is “bullet-resistant,” let’s analyze the phrase “bullet-resistant glass.”
Bullet-resistant glass isn’t really glass, well not completely. There are three types of “bullet-resistant glass,” but only one is actually made with regular glass. Glass-Clad Polycarbonate is made from a piece of polycarbonate that is sandwiched between two pieces of regular glass. The other forms of “bullet-resistant glass” are actually made from a solid sheet of acrylic or laminated polycarbonate.
With more than three decades manufacturing bulletproof security systems, Total Security Solutions is the industry leader for custom bullet resistant barriers that meet your bulletproof security needs on-time, on-budget, and expertly finished.
Your bulletproof products will be carefully packaged and shipped to your facility by truck. Total Security Solutions can begin working shortly after your business closes for the evening or on Saturday so as to minimize the inconvenience to you and your customers.
