When you think about school security, the first thing that comes to mind is the unfortunate rise in school shootings occurring all over the nation. However, school security is not just about stopping a child from opening fire on the school staff and other children but also stopping fights, theft, assaults, and bullying.
Schools are meant to be a safe learning environment for our children. If you want to keep your school secure, consider hiring security officers. Here’s how they can help you:
Security officers can not only protect kids against bullies, but they can also prevent unauthorized people from entering the campus. Imagine if someone carrying a bomb slips into the school because there’s no security to stop them. It’ll create mayhem in the school, neighborhood, and the nation. That’s why hiring security personnel is crucial.
They can verify the staff on campus and keep detailed logs, check student belongings, clear them for entry, and check for any firearms and incendiary devices that can endanger human lives.
Since there are so many children on campus all the time, accidents, slips, falls, and allergic reactions can occur anytime, endangering children’s lives. Security officers are trained to provide first aid and take charge of emergencies. From administering CPR to carrying injured children to the emergency room, they can deescalate many emergencies and dangerous situations on site.
Children may become aggressive in handling situations as they grow up. That’s why security officers are a must on campus so they can interfere and stop physical altercations and constant bullying inside and outside the classroom.
Our security officers are trained to identify these volatile situations before they escalate and help if someone is hurt. If security personnel keeps a vigilant eye on bullying and threat, they can significantly reduce the risks of school shootings.
