Schools and universities have admitted that since the shootings at Columbine High and again after the Virginia Tech massacre, campus security had risen to a priority item. The Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy was a turning point because the targets were mostly primary-age children and educators realized their strategies had to be applied to the youngest of students as well. Security professionals and school administrators have learned that to be successful a multi-disciplinary approach to a proper school security program must be developed and practiced. All the different voices need to be heard and must be at the table to create a workable solution.
This roundtable will include security consults, school administrators and university security directors who will provide their take on where we stand in protecting school and university campuses across the United States. We will discuss trends in policy, public/private partnerships, collaboration with public safety agencies, available options to help fund security programs and technology and what the future looks like, and how we address the challenges to come.
