School Safety & Security

We examine safety and security from every angle to mitigate risks, including physical environments, technology, and the human element.

Our team of school security and safety staff are considered among the best in the country.  As former leaders of these programs for the Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax, Virginia, our professionals have developed solutions that were adopted as policy by the State of Virginia, Department of Criminal Justice Services and now are required for all public schools in the state. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity have all consulted with our team leaders and used their knowledge and programs in their own agency policy development.  Leveraging these assets, CISVETS delivers the highest quality safety and security audit products to public, private, or charter schools nationwide.  We deliver meaningful reports to school leaders that identify weaknesses in compliance with legal or regulatory requirements and include recommendations for program enhancement through implementation of best practices learned over years of practical experience.  Following the audit process, our team can deliver assistance in policy development, training, and staff development to build or strengthen any school safety or security program.

Our comprehensive threat and vulnerability audits are critical to securing your organization.

Effective safety and security programs start with a clear understanding of your vulnerabilities. We assess your strengths and weaknesses and apply decades of experience to our audits. Our industry-leading experts also help you anticipate future threats.

Our audit methodology begins with an in-depth security and/or safety review.

No matter the focus of your audits, we apply a time-tested process where we:

• Review current areas of exposure and past security incidents in order to identify vulnerabilities.
• Interview key staff for insights and information about incidents, policies, and procedures.
• Conduct a gap analysis to determine where your program(s) do not meet compliance requirements.
• Make recommendations for implementing measures to mitigate any areas of vulnerability to reduce your risk exposure.
