In 2024, there were 58 reported school shooting incidents in the US. That number includes the range of K-12 and colleges. A major spike in gun related incidents began in 2020 and has continued impacting what was once regarded as a safe space for America’s youth. Now, parents regularly have to consider the chance of this happening in the city or town in which they have children attending school. Many schools have found ways to add security measures to the campus whether it be additional cameras or metal detectors. Unfortunately, those rarely are sufficient enough to ward off an intentional threat in real time. Having an entire faculty and staff that is trained on what to do in the event of an active shooter situation is the best defense (and the most unexpected) when these kinds of things occur. Templar Security Services has a program that can make your school or work place truly ready for the unthinkable! Find out more by reaching out to us directly.
