The Growing Need for Classroom Safety & Security

Why our schools need Titan Armored’s TAG: Mobile

The Growing Need for Classroom Safety & Security

School safety is a top priority for educators, parents, and policymakers. With the rise in active shooter incidents, institutions across the country are investing in better security solutions to protect students and staff.

While lockdown drills, security cameras, and controlled entry points play important roles in school safety, they do not provide immediate protection during an emergency..

A bulletproof mobile whiteboard for schools offers an innovative, dual-purpose solution—serving as both an interactive teaching tool and a life-saving ballistic shield. Titan Armored’s TAG Mobile seamlessly integrates into classrooms, allowing educators to respond proactively in a crisis.


The Science Behind Bulletproof Whiteboards: What Makes a Whiteboard Bullet-Resistant?

Titan Armored’s bulletproof  whiteboards are built using high-performance ballistic materials that meet UL 752 Level 8 NIJ-III+ protection standards. This ensures they can withstand bullets from handguns and even high-powered rifles or assault weapons such as the AR-15, providing a reliable defensive shield in active shooter situations.

Key Features of the TAG Mobile

  • Multi-Functional Design: Works as a standard dry-erase glassboard for everyday classroom use, yet instantly transforms into a ballistic shield in emergencies.

  • Lightweight & Mobile: Designed for quick deployment, allowing teachers to shield students effectively.

  • UL 752 Level 8 Protection: Tested to stop rounds from handguns, shotguns, rifles. and assault weapons. 

  • Discreet & Non-Intimidating: Unlike visible security barriers, students don’t feel fear or distress seeing it in their classroom.

  • Seamless Classroom Integration: Functions without disrupting the learning environment.


How Bulletproof Glassboards Enhance an Active Shooter Situation


In an active shooter situation, every second counts. Standard lockdown procedures such as hiding under desks or barricading doors are not always enough.

A bullet-resistant mobile whiteboard offers immediate, flexible protection, allowing educators and students to increase their chances of survival.
