In Grand Blanc, Michigan, at Grand Blanc Community High School, a student walked into the school

Improvement in security will also contribute to a safe environment. High schools should implement the use of metal detectors as well as random searches. Although, it may be tedious to remove all metal and coins from your pockets, it will ensure safety. This security measure can be specific to each school. An example being to make the checks random throughout the week or only require it for students to have a late arrival. Random searches can also be specified such as only searching lockers or classrooms. Motion sensored cameras can also be a very effective with safety. In many school’s cameras are only in the hallways and lunchroom, but what happens when violence occurs in a classroom? All evidence will be based off hearsay. This is not an effective way of assessing the incident considering there are 3 sides to every story. Adding motion cameras to classrooms will make evidence accurate. Not only will student-student altercations be recorded, but teacher-student altercations will be recorded. Security guards themselves should also be improved. Security guards should be posted in hallways upon children arrival, during passing periods, and upon school dismissal. Security guards should also be fit enough for the job. “The results indicated that utilization of multiple security measures reduced the likelihood of exposure to property

School should install high tech safety features around their school like cameras or alarm systems. Talking to my cousin Kamalpreet about school security was a must because she goes to school where there were lots of crime-related issues. She always talks about what happened at their school. Kamalpreet said she witnessed lots of crime happening around their school and that their school doesn’t have any type of security arrangements. Many people fight at their school and no one is there to stop them because of lack of security system. She said “no matter what type of school it is they should have security arrangements for their school safety.” Also she said “that as new technology is on the rise and they should make some type of detectors to keep schools safe.” Every school should have some type of security and it is not cheap to get security systems. The whole issue is about money because they are too expensive, so not every school can afford them. There are many ways to raise money if school tries and that money can help with security. Raising money is always an option when it comes down to children’s safety. Teachers should keep children on the right track then they will go into right direction and that will help school as a whole feel safer. If teachers don’t teach anything then children will fight with each other and school won’t feel safe, but that is also up to the students. The Department

After the Sandy Hook, there were countless ways for students to be safe at school. In Preparing for the Unthinkable: School Safety after Sandy Hook news article, Vicki Bauman said, “ Instead of gates, guns, and metal detectors, let’s invest in the things we know will make us safer: counselors, health care, teaching positive behavior, and making sure we have services to reach out to disconnected youth and pull them back on track.” Therefore, violence is not the answer to any question or issue. The community and school system should take a stand and get the necessities that the schools need to have a safe environment for the students and faculty and staff. The school can invest in law enforcement. The law enforcement will be able to conduct a consistent search through a metal detector. The law enforcement will help the students to avoid bringing prohibited weapons to school as well as, there to protect the school.

It would be a wise idea for school administrators to have a comprehensive security assessment of the school’s physical design, safety policies, and emergency procedures. Once again this must be conducted with the cooperation of school staff, emergency personnel, students, and other school community members. Every school has different needs and safety plans may vary. According to the IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police), there are twenty recommended actions that can be used to prevent violence in a school setting.

First and foremost, there could be many mephobia students that bring firearms and drugs can be a major problem locker searches could be good and useful for police to find it who it is a get rid of its students could even bring a firearm in different places in the school.

The main concern that may arise when dealing with intruders in the college is getting hold of personal information. This is a major concern for any school or college and is important that they are stopped. If intruders do enter the premises they could get hold of personal information about students and staff. In my poster I have highlighted this and given advice on how to stop this from occurring if someone unauthorized enters the building. Computes should be password locked when they are not being used and any confidential paper work should be put into cabinets which are locked. Staff should ensure that all members staff are aware of this rule and if any computers are not locked to do so. By having this

A thorough check of all exits to be made to ensure all gates/doors was locked and there is no way a child could have left the school.

This article addresses how modern constructed public buildings are often unsafe. This is because most of them include big windows and large open spaces designed to inspire patrons of the building. Instead of fortressing these structures, this piece suggests renovating the entrances. This agrees with the essay in the way both stress the importance of front-end security. It gives many helpful tips at further improving entrance security. Atlas does mention not wanting to make schools

Through this tragedy, educators have learned a different approach to intruders. We teach students to think for themselves through a training program called ALICE: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. There is no linear progression to ALICE. Through studies, we have learned the best chance for survival is to evacuate the building and run. ALICE teaches schools, teachers, and students how to respond in intruder situations. Schools all across the country including hundreds in our area conduct weekly ALICE drills. An example of items implemented from our ALICE trainings include: a method of communication to all teachers and students, increase in the number of school security cameras, door locking mechanisms on every classroom door to be used in the event that a classroom cannot evacuate and needs to “shelter in place” and finally, a go-bucket. Items in a go-bucket vary across schools but if you google the term you will see these items include: items to barricade a door, items to defend oneself, items such as wasp spray, which can

An approximated 260 teachers are being physically abused every day for doing their job. Any students that are suspected of being involved with a school shooting plan, should be searched by administration with authority. If contraband is found, then they could decide to turn them over to the police if it was felony or involved weapons on school grounds or to find rehab for them if it involved drugs. Locker searches would greatly reduce the risk of school shootings, but other measures, such as more evasive action could help reduce the amount of teachers and students at

Every human makes mistakes, and an armed guard could make a mistake by misreading a student’s behavior. If an innocent student is put in a position where they are targeted by an armed guard, this can create a great deal of fear for other surrounding students. When a school goes on lock down or secure mode, there is normally a dangerous situation that the staff will try to protect the students by keeping them in one spot. This is a good way of keeping them safe, until there is a situation that can put more lives in danger while having an armed guard. There are many cases where students have been killed or critically injured from a cross fire by accident from an armed guard. According to a 2006 study of New York City police officers showed that, in situations when they were firing at a person, they hit their marks only 28.3% of the time. Los Angeles police fared only slightly better that year, hitting their marks 40% of the time. Imagine if a stray bullet from a police officer hit an unintended target rather than a violent intruder. Armed police officers do not necessarily make schools safer when they would be making any situation more deadly (Samsa, 2013). In some cases there have been psychotic guards that have attacked their own school they are supposed to guard from harm. As some of the many possibilities that could go wrong, some worry that a guard could be distracted and a young student could grab the gun or weapon and cause

Safety is a tremendous issue on college campuses, and additional procedures need to be taken to prevent crimes from happening. When walking onto a college campus as a young adult, people get a rush of the unknown. The unknown could be going to college parties and late night study groups. College should be like any high school or elementary school and have better security measures to protect their students. The reasons we need these extra steps are to prevent violence, give students a sense of security, and monitor visitors on campus.

“Security isn’t so much a problem in the school, but this is another precaution that we can take,” says Pat Gallagher, an American physicist and the eighteenth chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh. The run/fight and lockdown drills would not work in some situations, when gunmen come into the school or try to break in. Woodlynde needs a security guard to protect the children and teachers while they try to run away from school or hide inside the rooms. This is why Woodlynde needs security guards and not just the safety drills inside Woodlynde’s protection routine.

Violence has devastated many college campuses such as the infamous school shootings in Connecticut and Virginia, taking the lives of many and triggering a nationwide scare. These unfortunate incidences are becoming more and more frequent, thus causing panic to arise within innocent students, faculty, and parents. However, in order to augment and ensure campus safety, schools and universities must first take the time, efforts, and finances to implement a secure learning environment. The first measure that schools should adopt is the updating of established security policies and procedures for regulatory school days and for times of crisis. With the continuous advancement of the society’s technology and knowledge or changes in new campus construction,

With the many recent tragic school shootings, people are asking questions regarding if their children are under enough protection while they are at school. One of the biggest debate questions is: should schools have armed guards at the front entrance? This question has been answered by many people by giving their specific opinion. The question of armed guards in front of school has also been addressed on talk shows and to political leaders for their opinion. The answers that are given are either for having armed guards, or against armed guards standing in front of schools. Armed guard should not be posted at schools because it increases uncertainty and risk of student safety.
