Title: Security in a School/Educational Setting

According to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA), a 2017 survey revealed approximately 6% of students had been threatened or injured with a weapon in the 12 months prior to the survey.  In March 2024, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) stated the United States had 57 times as many school shootings as all other major industrial nations combined. AAP began researching the frequency of school shootings and mass school shootings.  The mission of school security is to create a safe learning environment to achieve educational objectives.  A panel of School Safety Directors will discuss common incidents of crime and violence within schools, strategies for developing security teams in the school setting, how they manage the assessment of their vulnerabilities as they move into the 25th anniversary of the Columbine massacre, and how they are creating positive school or campus cultures.

Learning Objectives: After attending this session, you will be better able to:

  • Understand and implement Safety Teams in a school setting.
  • You will have the knowledge of the assessment of vulnerabilities in schools
  • You will have a better grasp on the security budget and how to fund the program
  • Be able to create a positive school culture.

Pre-registration is required!
