Inhaltsangabe

Can you recall a time when you were able to go a week without hearing about violence in schools? School safety has become not only an often politicized hot topic, but an issue that is at the heart of anyone worldwide who cares for someone under the age of 18 years old. What if we told you that the essence of creating safer schools is not spending millions on products or redesign, but instead, something that can be implemented and reproduced for FREE in every school?

Our story started around our dinner table thirteen years ago, when Heather came home after a frustrating day at school. She placed blame on how the situation unfolded in the hands of the officer who had responded to help and was fueled by anger, passion, and helplessness. John listened, patiently waiting to explain the reasons why the officer had taken the course of action he did. We realized that these two professions are often thrust together with little to no strategic planning. At the end of the day, both share a common goal—keep schools and students safe. But when we come from two completely different professional worlds, it takes strategic work on both sides to make this happen.

Whether you find yourself fitting into the world of education or the world of an officer, we invite you to join us at our dinner table as we share five merges that can be easily implemented to increase the safety of our schools.
