Policy Patrol offers schools (K12), universities and colleges a comprehensive email filter for protecting and monitoring their email systems. Policy Patrol is one of the few email security solutions that can filter email that is sent on the school network as well as to the outside world.

- Protect students and staff from spam and offensive emails.
- Increase productivity by reducing unwanted emails and avoiding network congestion.
- Reduce leakage of confidential information by making use of keyword filtering and attachment checking.
- Minimize legal risks by adding disclaimers to emails, warning against unauthorized use of the system and the confidential nature of emails.
