FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ladson, South Carolina – September 15, 2026 – R2P Innovations, developer of the world’s most advanced bulletproof doors, is now part of the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS). PASS is a nationally recognized nonprofit that brings together experts from education, public safety, and the security industry to establish research-based guidance and best practices for K-12 school security.
R2P’s role as a PASS Partner reinforces its commitment to providing lifesaving protection for students and educators inside the classroom. When every second matters, students and teachers need more than prevention and a place to hide. They need a bulletproof barrier designed to protect them.
R2P’s bulletproof classroom door serves as a critical last line of defense during an armed attack. It is engineered to meet UL 752 Level 8 standards and withstand more than 100 rounds from high-powered firearms without a single penetration, helping keep occupants protected while waiting for law enforcement to respond.
“Run, fight, hide is what our children are being taught in school. Our children deserve a last line of defense.”
Tony Deering, Founder and CEO of R2P Innovations
“Run, fight, hide is what our children are being taught in school,” said Tony Deering, Founder and CEO of R2P Innovations. “Our children deserve a last line of defense. We are honored to join PASS and stand alongside a national network of organizations dedicated to advancing school safety nationwide. This partnership reinforces our belief that every classroom should become a safe haven capable of protecting the lives inside.”
R2P’s bulletproof door combines rifle-rated bulletproof protection with the accessibility and functionality required in an everyday classroom environment. Despite its advanced bulletproof performance, the door is light enough for a young child to open and close. The door is also 20-minutes fire rated and designed to retrofit into the existing door frame. It looks and operates like an ordinary classroom door while providing immediate protection against high-powered rifle fire and a safe haven for children and faculty during an active threat.
