Raptor Technologies®, the market leader in U.S. K-12 school security
solutions, today announced that it has acquired LobbyGuard Solutions,
LLC, a visitor management and front office automation system provider.

“The combination with LobbyGuard is a tremendous step forward in
achieving our goal of protecting every student in every school, every
day” said Jim Vesterman, CEO of Raptor. “Seventy-five percent of schools
use pencil and paper for visitor management, and 95% of schools use
pencil and paper for emergency management. This creates a great
opportunity for Raptor and LobbyGuard to offer a full line of visitor
management products including self-service kiosks for the K-12 market as
well as corporate and government markets. LobbyGuard and Raptor
employees share a common passion for protecting students and visitors
and have the resources to provide advanced, innovative solutions to
customers.”

“We are excited to join Raptor and contribute to its rapid growth
serving the K-12 market with its best-in-class visitor, emergency and
volunteer integrated solutions,” said Kevin Allen, President of
LobbyGuard. “This is a fantastic opportunity for two leaders in security
solutions to join forces and help schools and businesses around the
country stay safe. The combined organization will serve nearly 30,000
K-12 schools and will have a footprint in the very large commercial
market. Our talented, experienced employees are looking forward to
joining the Raptor team.”

LobbyGuard will operate as a division of Raptor based in its current
location in Raleigh, NC. LobbyGuard President Kevin Allen will remain in
his current position and all employees will continue in their current
roles.
