School Security Solutions
Having functional and effective school security is a challenge. Budgets and time are always key components that have to be considered when developing a security program. Knowing the right tools, procedures, and methods needed to implement a robust security program that is practical and complete can be difficult. Security threats are always evolving and being able to properly address these dangers can only be accomplished by being prepared.
SPR Group LLC is dedicated to helping each school administrator ensure their school is as safe as possible. We are conscious of budgetary constraints and the value of time. Our strategic approach to security is based on simplicity and having a multi-dimensional view that considers variables ranging from the viewpoint of potential threats to what the school staff, teachers, and police need to survive and respond effectively during life threatening events. Having a one-dimensional perspective encased in assumptions and outdated tactical perspectives are dangerous and can lead to the loss of life, limb, and property.
SPR Group LLC’s foundational strategic approach is based on using factual historical data, low-tech systems, stress tested tactics, and simplicity, with the capability to add whatever is needed to fit the needs and capabilities of the school. Our approach reinforces the mindset that the school, staff, and individual teachers must be able to function and survive by themselves and not expect outside assistance from the police. Having this mindset from the onslaught of any dangerous event helps to ensure the chances of survivability and proper response.

According to OSHA, Workplace Violence is ranked in the top four reasons for death in the workplace.
