Recently, PASS was recently featured in an article by Security Management, a publication of Asis International, outlining the necessity of being prepared for a K-12 school emergency. The article breaks down PASS’ 5-layer approach to preparing and practicing for an emergency despite the many variables presented throughout the school day.
Below is an excerpt from the article.
According to the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS), an independent group dedicated to improving school safety, there are five layers of protection to consider: districtwide, property perimeter, parking lot perimeter, building perimeter, and classroom or interior perimeter.
