FOCUS ON SAFETY &
MITIGATION OF RISK
We’re not just talking about high impact incidents like shootings, but everyday incidents that contribute to injuries, property damage and property loss. As a reminder, always involve the experts – the SRO, the fire marshal and building officials!

20. FOCUS ON SAFETY & MITIGATION OF RISK Site, Space & Policy
Start with the Basics of Risk Management
Identify the hazards
Decide who might be harmed and how
Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
Record your findings and implement them
Review your assessment and update if necessary

22. FOCUS ON SAFETY & MITIGATION OF RISK Site, Space & Policy
Issues and Ideas to Consider
Use checklists to maintain consistency and create a history
Start with the simple CPTED walk-through to verify open line of sight inside and out
Access Control inside and out
Roof access – trees, hatches etc.
Site Analysis to prioritize any changes using the building principal, custodian and SRO and use the risk management techniques to evaluate loss potential.
Where and what is the most impactful change?

23. FOCUS ON SAFETY & MITIGATION OF RISK Site, Space & Policy
Issues and Ideas to Consider
Small changes – peep holes in kitchen doors, doorbells, magnetic locks, anti-snatch and grab film on windows
Big changes – cameras, reconfiguration of access (add vestibule), automatic release for fire doors.
Clean-up after an incident
Continuation of Business – loss of records, property damage
Check with your business office on co-operative contracts for purchasing power, use fund wisely to get the best you can, not the cheapest

WHAT YOUR POLICE PARTNER NEEDS FROM YOU
DAY TO DAY PROCEDURES
Perimeter control – keep exterior doors closed and locked.
Staff – Get them engaged outside the classroom.
Create the right atmosphere with discipline and adherence to procedures.

26. WHAT YOUR POLICE PARTNER NEEDS FROM YOU
EMERGENCY NEEDS
Police Access (Master keys or key cards)
Breeching Tools in your classrooms
Rope/Collapsible ladders (upper floor spaces)
Room numbers in exterior windows
Look for other needs and address as necessary. Be innovative!

27. WHAT YOUR POLICE PARTNER NEEDS FROM YOU
PLANNING
Consult with your police partner in your construction/rehab planning.
Consult with your police partner in development of your emergency plans.
Talk to police about their plans for emergencies at your schools.
Don’t be afraid to have the police in your building for training or exercises.
Try not to over plan.

28. WHAT YOUR POLICE PARTNER NEEDS FROM YOU
TRAINING
Have some “what if” think through sessions during your staff meetings.
Consider “Run, Hide, Fight” training for staff and potentially students.
Conduct lock down drills and non-fire evacuation drills with varying routes.
Consider multiple evacuation muster locations.

29. WHAT YOUR POLICE PARTNER NEEDS FROM YOU
HARD REALITY
If someone is determined to get into your building and do serious harm, they will.
You won’t be able to save everyone. There WILL be casualties.
Unless the SRO is in the building, the police will probably not be able to get there fast enough to stop him. Which means the first response and the safety of the kids is in your hands.
