Break-In Thwarted by Security Window Film at Cop Shop The Window Film was Stronger than the Bat
by Anonymous


Marietta, GA March 26, 2004 -- Burglars took a bat to the window of Law Enforcement Supply of Marietta, Georgia. The window won, thanks to super strong security film strong enough to prevent entry through the broken window.

Trespassers attempted to break and enter through a window during the late evening hours of Thursday, March 18th. They probably aimed to steal Kevlar body armor, police blue lights, police IDs and badges, and other law enforcement supplies. Fortunately, the inside of the double pane glass had its own protective barrier. The outside glass broke, but the inside pane, coated with 3M Security Window Film, prevented entry and theft loss.

"This security film really works. Although the glass broke, the trespassers couldn't get through the film we had installed. Without the film, they would have walked right in," said Kyle Pippin, the Regional Manager of Law Enforcement Supply. "We felt security film was important protection for just this very type of incident," continued Pippin. The company's experts have over 190 years combined of law enforcement experience.

"Experts know what makes a difference in crime prevention, and window security film is a tool recommended by people in security management," emphasized Jeffrey Franson, President of Window Expert, Inc. of Atlanta, the company that sells and installs the security film. "Since 9/11, we receive daily inquiries on ways to increase security and safety on risky glass exposure, and this incident is just further proof of the value of security film," continued Franson.

The film, 3M Scotchshield Ultra Safety and Security Window Film, has a silver reflective coat to provide privacy, reduces heat, and blocks UV rays. Law Enforcement Supply chose the film for privacy—they could see out but people couldn't see in during the day---as well as break-in protection. This same film is being installed at the United Nations Building in New York. A clear security film is also available, which provides 24 hour invisible protection.

Window Expert, Inc. of Atlanta sells and installs 3M and other window films designed to reduce glare, furniture fading, heat and "hot spots", as well as provide security from flying glass and "smash and grab" burglaries. Window Expert, Inc., in business over 10 years, has provided security film for the CNN Center, Fort Benning Army Base, jewelry stores, gun shops, and other high-risk targets.
