Security for schools and campuses.
Licensed officers for independent schools, charter networks, colleges and university campuses. Access control and visitor verification, event coverage, documented patrol, and a written escalation path agreed before it is needed. Florida Security Agency License B 2100072.
Judged on the ordinary day.
A campus security program is assessed by parents, staff and students on the nine hundred days when nothing happens, and by insurers, regulators and occasionally a court on the one when something does. Both audiences are looking at the same thing: whether the routine was actually run, and whether anyone can prove it.
Officers selected for temperament
Screened on employment, criminal, credit, driving and reference history before assignment, and chosen for a post where most of the work is talking to people who did not ask to be stopped. Many of our officers work in English and Spanish, which in Miami-Dade decides how a great many of those conversations end.
Access control that survives a busy morning
Visitor verification, contractor and vendor handling, delivery procedure, and a stated rule for the parent who is late, the sibling nobody recognizes and the person who will not give a name. The exceptions are where campus access control actually fails, so they get written down first.
Patrol that can be evidenced
GPS-verified tours on a schedule administration can see, incident reports filed from the post, and a 24/7 dispatch and communications center behind every shift. The record is the part a campus needs long after the term ends.
Training in-house, not outsourced
We run a Florida-licensed Security Officer School (DS2700029, Security Alliance Training Academy). Post-specific instruction is written and delivered by the same company that supervises the post, and an officer can advance without leaving the campus they know.
What a program covers.
- K-12 and independent schools - single entry point control, arrival and dismissal, visitor verification, and a stated procedure for custody and pickup disputes.
- Charter and multi-campus networks - one management team and one standard across sites, rather than a different provider and a different post order set at each address.
- Colleges and university campuses - open campuses where the perimeter is a policy rather than a fence: residence hall posts, escort, night patrol, and coordination with campus police.
- Events - graduations, athletics, performances and open houses, planned and staffed as their own coverage with their own escalation path.
- Construction and summer periods - the months when unfamiliar contractors move through the campus daily and the normal population is not there to notice.
- Assessment before staffing - a walk of the campus and a written recommendation, including where you need fewer hours than you are buying now.
Ask every bidder the same four things.
Campus proposals are written to be hard to compare. These four make them comparable, and they are worth asking us as readily as anyone else.
Who supervises, and how often are they on campus?
A name, a title and a visit frequency. Not a department.
What screening applies beyond the state license?
And who confirms it before an officer is on site.
Show me a real post order set.
Redacted from a live campus, not a template with our name typed in.
What happens in the first ten minutes?
Who is called, in what order, and who is authorized to stop the day.
Questions buyers ask us.
Should campus officers be armed?
That is a governing board decision, not a vendor decision, and it should be made in writing before a contract is signed. Most of what a campus post does is access control, escort, lost property, medical assistance and de-escalation, and a firearm is irrelevant to all of it. Armed coverage becomes a fair question at specific posts with specific exposure. We will give you our recommendation for your campus, including where it is unarmed, and we will staff the decision you make.
How is a school post different from a commercial one?
The population. A commercial building holds adults who are there voluntarily and who leave at six. A campus holds minors or young adults, a parent population with strong opinions, staff who did not choose to work alongside a security officer, and visitors arriving all day with reasons that have to be verified rather than assumed. It is a customer service post with a safety consequence attached, and it needs officers selected for temperament as much as for experience.
Do officers assigned to a school need extra screening?
Yes, and states differ on what that is. Florida licenses security officers through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and separate school-access screening requirements may apply on top of the license depending on the district, the campus and whether the post has unsupervised access to students. We work out which apply to your campus before the first shift rather than after, and the answer goes in the contract.
Can you cover graduations, athletics and one-off events?
Yes. Event coverage is a distinct plan, not extra bodies on the normal one: entry points, bag policy, parking and traffic, crowd flow, a medical plan, and a written escalation path to the district or campus police. It should be walked and written before the date, and it should say who is authorized to stop the event.
Who do officers answer to during an incident?
Whoever your plan says, and that has to be settled before an incident rather than during one. On most campuses the officer's first call is the designated administrator, with law enforcement notified in parallel under stated conditions. Our 24/7 dispatch and communications center sits behind every shift so an officer is never deciding alone, and every escalation is logged.
What do you leave behind in the record?
GPS-verified patrol tours, incident reports filed from the post rather than reconstructed later, and a dispatch log of every escalation. Campuses are asked to produce that record for insurers, for regulators and occasionally in litigation, sometimes years afterwards. A patrol that cannot be evidenced is a patrol that did not happen.
Start with a walk of the campus.
We will look at the entry points, the arrival and dismissal windows and the hours that are actually exposed, then put the recommendation in writing - including where you can spend less.
