SCHOOL SECURITY GUARDS HELP KEEP STUDENTS SAFE IN A CULTURE OF VIOLENCE

Reading headlines describing, in frightening detail, teacher and student fatalities at the hands of deranged mass shooters, shakes us to the core. Schools, once thought of as safe places of learning where millions of students across America spend their days, have not escaped the violence and devastation caused by acts of terrorism. We often think of shooters as psychotic strangers that have stalked a school, but to our disbelief the shooter could be the student sitting right next to our own child. Whether the perpetrator is an intruder or seriously troubled student, school administrators and public officials struggle with the challenge of keeping their staff and students safe.

SCHOOL SECURITY GUARDS HELP PROTECT STAFF AND STUDENTS
In response to the increasing threat of violence targeted at American schools, many school boards across the country have enlisted the services of school security guards in their schools. Security guards play an integral part in protecting staff, students, and school property from violence, theft, and vandalism. Not only are professional school security guards highly visible, they’re trained to identify suspicious behavior and often help prevent disasters.

THE THREAT OF MASS SHOOTINGS TERRIFIES STUDENTS
The tragic shootings are reminders of how vulnerable our children are when they leave our care. In days gone by, the biggest worry some students may have had was what they’d find to eat for lunch in their lunch box. Now students are afraid of being shot at school – a real and very disturbing concern for parents, teachers, and school officials. Though schools should never be viewed as combat zones, many parents have equipped their children with bullet-proof backpacks and jackets. The addition of fully-trained school security guards to monitor entrances and exits and patrol schools may alleviate some parents’ fears as well as make outside intruders think twice before targeting schools with professional school security guards onsite.

INTRUDERS ARE NOT THE ONLY THREATS THAT FRIGHTEN STUDENTS
Protecting kids at school from outside intruders is not the only challenge that keeps conscientious school officials up at night. Everyday a whole laundry list of disturbing issues face students at schools in the US, including bullying, assault, and drugs. Physical violence, sexual assault, and intimidation are widespread in today’s school subculture, not to mention the problem of dangerous dealers pushing drugs on school campuses across the country. Part of the solution to the problem could be the presence of school security guards in schools to report criminal behavior and protect students in their care. Reading headlines describing, in frightening detail, teacher and student fatalities at the hands of deranged mass shooters, shakes us to the core.

Safer schools means more armed security, lawmakers say


State Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, said he wants schools to have the funding to increase the number of armed school resource officers in schools and to “harden” their entrances after 17 people were killed at a Parkland high school Wednesday.
In a statement released Thursday, Galvano said the dozens of people wounded or killed after a 19-year-old former Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School student open fired was “nothing short of devastating and tragic. My heart breaks for the students, families, administrators, first responders and law enforcement officers and all who have been impacted by the shooting.”
The Senate president-designate offered a plea to his colleagues in the legislature on what lawmakers could do in the wake of the shooting.
“While currently we have armed resource officers at a number of our schools coupled with other law enforcement personnel, we must identify where the gaps exist and immediately work to fill them,” Galvano said in the letter.
He also called for “an appropriation of $100 million for mental health screening, counseling and training,” and to make sure schools are using security audits put in place after the Sandy Hook shooting. He also pushed for a discussion how the shooter was able to get a gun.
“(We) must have the conversation about how this individual, with noted and apparent mental health issues, was able to obtain a firearm such as this and discuss measures to prevent this from happening again,” he said. “The safety of our children in schools should be the No. 1 priority for all of us in public service. Enough is enough.”
State Sen. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota — who has this session pushed bills to allow concealed weapons in courthouses and churches — said he would be re-introducing a school safety bill that would take Galvano’s suggestion about school resource officers to the next level.
The bill, which he said had been shot down over the past six years, would offer school districts the opportunity to appoint “schoolsafety officers” that would have more training than a school resource officer, active shooter training and prior law enforcement or military experience. Districts could establish certain policies like storing their firearms in a safe on school property.
Manatee County School Board Chairman Scott Hopes said these proposals aren’t “about guns. It’s about protecting students and staff when they’re in our schools.”
The school district is “all hands on deck” in identifying safety needs and will have a workshop to address funding for more school resource officers and work to assess the district’s mental health services.
“There are some things we can do now,” Hopes said. “There are other things that are going to take help from the legislature.” BY HANNAH MORSE
