Help Us Protect Your Local School And Prevent Active Shooters
[2-Min Video]
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Donating to Protecting Our Students significantly impacts the prevention of active shooters and the safety and security of K-12 schools nationwide. Your support enables us to deliver and implement our Safety and Vulnerability Assessment and Annual Reassessment program to school districts nationwide, using our innovative mobile AI software app SITE|SAFETYNET℠. This program helps identify potential vulnerabilities interior and exterior of campus and provides schools with the REPORT they need to enhance their safety and security measures.
It is not the only answer by any means, but rather, one innovation allowing schools to increase their security posture without creating a prison-like experience. New technology, including weapons detection, access control, video management systems, and social media monitoring, are essential tools but are not foolproof. Safety and Vulnerability Assessment and Annual Reassessment Technology are critical components of a school safety plan.
By partnering with Protecting Our Students, you can help ensure that our schools are better prepared to prevent and respond to potential threats and provide a safer environment for our children to learn and grow.
Donate to Protecting Our Students So We Can Continue Our Work!
Each year, parents nationwide entrust schools to provide a safe environment for approximately 50 million elementary and secondary public school students in America. Families and communities expect these institutions to keep their children safe from threats — no assignment is more important than creating a safe learning environment for our nation’s students.
We know school security is a complex issue with no simple, single solution. That’s why POS is committed to supporting K-12 gun safety policy standardization by implementing our SITE|SAFETYNET℠ App. After all, we have all been school students at some point. Let’s help end school shootings across the U.S. together.
