Oops.

You can also install glass that is 'vandal proof', with a plastic layer. It'll slow down whoever is trying to smash it enough until the police show up.

3M sell a range of security film for after market application. Also IR/UV blocking films. Former external latter internal. Worth looking at the energy savings because which can be significant depending on your local climate. Variants provide internal reflection suppression and tints which might make it attractive to executive pursors. The (public SKU) electrically conductive window film was discontinued unfortunately..
