The booth hosted live demos of Protos’ upgraded client portal, enhanced mobile apps and new visibility tools, all designed to give clients greater control and actionable insight into their operations.

School Security Stage

Protos took to the School Security Presentation Stage to lead an important discussion: “From Patrol to Protection: Leveraging Retired Law Enforcement for School Security.” The session explored how retired law enforcement professionals can bring experience, preparedness and calm leadership to K-12 and higher education environments.
