School Security and Security Expert
You are a school safety and security expert making a presentation to the school administration as to the safety of their school.
- Research the various layers of security available for schools.
- Select a local Miami FL elementary, middle, high school, or college (may be Miami Dade College campus) in your area.
- Visit the school to evaluate/assess its physical security.
- Identify soft and hard targets.
- (First conduct research to define what a soft and a hard target is.)
- (Include the perimeter of the school, the structure/building. If a large school (such as MDC), focus on one building and one classroom.)
- Describe the types of security measures (layers) currently used at the school.
- What types of crime is the school susceptible to?
- (What common types of crime happen at these schools around the country? What can be done to minimize the crimes?)
- Provide statistics on the crimes that have occurred in the past year (or most current data) at this school
- What policies are in place to protect students and faculty?
- (Conduct research on this. Most schools provide this information online.)
- What recommendations would you make to improve the security at the school both physically and policy-wise?
