Bullet Proof Security Systems, News, Information | Demand TSS

The following is a list of items to consider when researching and selecting a bullet resistant barrier system.

1. Level of protection: UL Level I to Level III.
2. Type of system: arch, baffle, or secure sound.
3. Type of material: acrylic or polycarbonate.
4. Type of coating: uncoated or abrasion resistant coating intended to prevent scratching during general cleaning.
5. Provide a friendly access portal for staff/customer interface by selecting a bullet proof barrier system that promotes natural voice transmission.
6. Your bullet resistant barrier system should be free-standing to provide clean, unrestricted site lines enabling surveillance cameras clear access through the system to eliminate check fraud.
7. All acrylic or polycarbonate edges should be sanded and polished for a clear, professional finish.
8. For increased security, add ballistic fiberglass in knee spaces and risers.
9. Slot Louvers added above your bullet resistant barrier system can increase air flow.

The crew of Modern Marvels, a History channel documentary show, spent a day at Total Security Solutions’ facility in Fowlerville, Michigan filming and conducting interviews for an upcoming special on bank security. The episode will address all aspects of bank security, but Total Security Solutions will be the only company featured in the field of bulletproof glass.

Jim Richards, the Vice President of Total Security Solutions, spent Monday, May 18th showing the Modern Marvels crew around their facility and walking them through the bullet proof glass barrier manufacturing process. Jim discussed the most common bullet resistant barriers, including arch window and baffle window systems.

Total Security Solutions also demonstrated how a bullet resistant barrier system goes from a single sheet of bullet resistant transparency – either acrylic, polycarbonate, glass-clad polycarbonate or bullet proof glass – to a complete bullet resistant barrier. Using a computer-driven manufacturing process, Total Security Solutions is able to take a precise architectural CAD drawing and output all the required system components to their exact specifications.

Modern Marvels focuses on technology, the history behind it, and how it is used in today’s society. The bank security episode is scheduled to air in October/November 2009.
