School Security Frequently Asked Questions
How do you balance security with creating a positive school climate?
This is at the core of our philosophy. We advocate for a balanced approach where physical security measures are blended with proactive, preventative strategies like behavioral threat assessment and staff training. The goal is a campus that feels safe, not sterile or intimidating.
Our district has a limited budget. Can we still improve security?
Absolutely. Many of the most effective security improvements are procedural and do not require a large capital investment. Our assessments provide prioritized recommendations, allowing you to make meaningful improvements in phases that align with your budget cycle.
Do you provide staff training?
Yes. We believe that a well-trained staff is the most important component of any school security plan. We offer a range of training programs for administrators, faculty, and support staff on topics like emergency response, threat assessment, and de-escalation.
Are your services available nationwide?
Yes. While our direct experience is concentrated in the New York area, our security consulting services, including remote assessments and plan development, are available to schools and districts across the country.
