In a culture of violence, how do we keep our children safe in school? The thought of another child at the mercy of a mass shooter can make us tremble to our core. Once considered a safe place, school should be a place of learning and fun.
While we want to think school shooters are from far away places, more often than not, they are likely in a classroom sitting at a desk next to other kids. It can be challenging for administration and staff to keep students and teachers safe.
Whether it is a troubled student or an intruder, safety should be the highest priority.
While there have been several thoughts about a solution, such as arming teachers or taking uniformed law enforcement officers off the streets and putting them into our schools, each has opposition. As many charter schools have learned, experienced security guards offer the protection our schools need at this time.
As violence in schools continues to rise and threaten our children, specifically trained security guards are becoming a vital role in protecting our students and staff.
Highly visible security guards from Curtis Security are trained to recognize any suspicious behavior, prevent vandalism, theft and a potential disaster.
The recent school shootings have put our students on edge, even have them frightened and scared. The possibility of violence or a shooting is real, turning our schools into a battle ground. Rather than equipping our kids for a combat zone, security guards are taking on a bigger role. By patrolling the school and monitoring entrances and exits. Security guards are putting the fears of both children and parents at ease. Allowing everyone to focus on more important matters.
Unfortunately, our kids face a long list issues, such as bullying, intimidation, sexual assault, physical violence, threats on social media, and drugs. Security guards on campus not only makes outside intruders and those who don’t belong, think twice about entering the campus. They also help alleviate the fears of both students and parents.
Students also have someone to protect them while at school and report any suspicious or criminal activity.
Our children deserve to feel safe and attend school without being afraid. The security guards from Curtis Protective Services are here to protect and serve throughout Florida and Georgia, contact us today.
