In Pennsylvania the first ever police school safety drill has taken place inside of a school. A total of 30 state and local officers entered Pocono Mountain East High School as part of the school safety demonstration. With guns drawn and safety shields up, the officers searched the school as part of their real-life training on how to respond if a gunman were on the loose at the school. One trooper expressed that waiting for something to happen is no longer their philosophy.
With an increased number of threats and attacks on schools, it is imperative that authorities and administrators implement a plan of action for situations posing a threat to school safety. While this school has begun the process of preparing for such situations many others have not.
How are you preparing for potential threats to you school? Have you developed a plan of action with your staff and local law enforcement? Share your comments on our Facebook page.
