For Private & Parochial Schools
Close the SRO gap.
Public schools have a School Resource Officer on site. Most private and parochial schools don't — and parents are increasingly aware of the difference. We build campus protection sized to your school, your budget, and the culture you've worked hard to create.
The Reality
Parents are asking a question they may never say out loud.
When a parent tours your campus, they are asking a quiet question they may never say out loud: is my child safe here? The public school down the road has an officer on site. Many private and faith-based schools have a locked front door and good intentions — and a visible gap that parents, boards, and insurers all notice.
Closing that gap doesn't mean turning your school into a checkpoint. It means knowing exactly where your vulnerabilities are, preparing your staff before anything happens, and having a professional, documented security program you can stand behind — to your board, your insurer, and every parent who asks.
Our Approach
Two Layers. One Program.
The Soft Layer — Prepare & Prevent
- A full campus risk and vulnerability assessment: entry points, blind spots, visitor flow
- Faculty and staff threat-response training
- Emergency protocols and reunification planning
- Visitor screening with watchlist checks at every entry
- The Custos platform — board-ready and insurer-ready documentation, always current
The Hard Layer — Deter & Respond
- Licensed, insured campus officers who fit your school's culture
- A professional, approachable presence — not a police checkpoint
- Less-lethal equipped, trained to standard
- Rapid, coordinated response
- Law-enforcement-aligned training through our SLEA partnership
