With active shooter events becoming more common, it’s critical for school administrators and parents to do everything possible to proactively enhance the effectiveness of safety & security protocols in and around schools. 

To help, Convergint has partnered with Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) to make available a comprehensive school safety checklist. This document is a security audit document from PASS, which lays out a list of standards, developed by a coalition of law enforcement, security professionals, architects, and school administrators, that defines threats common to schools at each educational level, including:

  • Offering recommendations on parental and community involvement

  • Detailing a layered security approach that combats common threats and mitigates risks related to active shooters

  • Providing information for integrators, school administrators, resource officers, and IT staff on technology-focused solutions like video surveillance, duress alarms, and electronic access control

  • Delivering scalable and tiered measures that administrators can implement based on available resources and local risk levels

Convergint will continue to provide additional resources to conduct a safety audit, to budget for safety enhancements, and to train school personnel.
