If you know us well, you know that we are not big advocates for training students for active shooter. That is because it is typically done wrong. Many LEO agencies, school districts, and companies either scare our kids or give them too much information they shouldn't have. Over 80% of the time, the attacker is a student or former student, so you should not give them your playbook. Jake Edwards is the best I have seen teach our kids the proper ways to prepare for any emergencies. This guy is top-notch and the one that should be used to teach our kids. Great work Jake, you are making a difference. Keep it up! #schoolsafety #activeshooter

#SchoolCommunity #SafeEnvironment #EducationMatters School community matters. Ethical school leaders focus on providing a safe environment for students like Johnny to grow and receive a well-rounded education beyond the school hours. To address the challenges faced by students, proactive measures can make a significant difference: - **Police Talks:** Having police officers regularly give talks to students on self-protection strategies can raise awareness about potential dangers in the neighborhood. These sessions can empower students to stay safe and alert. - **After-School Programs:** Collaboration with local instrument stores, churches, or community centers to offer activities like bands, orchestra, or choir can provide students with a safe and engaging environment after school hours. - **Library Access:** Opening the school library for students post-school hours encourages reading and provides a constructive way for students like Johnny to spend their time safely. By engaging all stakeholders within the community to volunteer their time, talents, and efforts, schools can create a safer environment for students to thrive. It truly takes a village to raise a child, and collective efforts can ensure that students receive the support they need to navigate challenges and succeed.

A comprehensive school physical activity program reflects strong coordination across five components: physical education, physical activity during school, physical activity before and after school, staff involvement, and family and community engagement.

"You will actually be there to work on our #schoolsecurity and emergency preparedness assessment?," I'm often asked by #schoolleaders. The answer: Absolutely - every single #schoolsafety consulting project. You won't find me sitting home behind a desk sending out less qualified people to do the work. You'll find me in schools! Why? Because I understand #schoolclimate, culture, and school community relations. I know that schools are unique and different contexts from other security professional settings. And this is how I continue to learn, grow, and connect with #principals, #teachers, #SROs, security staff, support staff, #parents, #students, #superintendents, #schoolboard members, #schoolpr, and others in the school community. In the past two weeks: Our Senior Consultant, Chuck Hibbert, and I visited 18 school sites and spent one full day interviewing central office school leaders and first responders. Very dedicated, caring educational professionals with a solid foundation in school security and emergency preparedness. If you don't understand school climate, culture, community relations, and PreK-12 school contexts, you don't understand school safety.

In reviewing the seminal "Broken Windows" article by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, it is striking to note that the word "education" does not appear even once. This omission highlights an area ripe for development in our approach to community policing. It's time to move beyond simply using the phrase "community policing" and take proactive steps to integrate educational initiatives into our efforts. Here is just one of the many possible paths that can be taken to re-tool the sentiments of community policing: incorporating comprehensive education programs aimed at public safety. These programs can foster mutual understanding, build stronger relationships, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for all. Remember, policing is a team sport and requires the investment of ALL stakeholders. By committing to education, we can ensure that our community policing initiatives are not just words, but actions that make a tangible difference.
