unlike
traditional security platforms which are reactive and designed to address a
single security aspect, our personnel based security initiative (PBSI)
simultaneously and proactively addresses multiple safety threat vectors through ground truth reporting, acquired from the students directly through hotline reporting.
A comprehensive study of averted violent school attacks by the united states secret service tells us that the warning signs are identifiable and reporting is critical, and notes that Students are best positioned to identify and report concerning behaviors displayed by their classmates.
“The takeaway from this report, and the 67 cases you are about to
examine, is that when people come forward to report concerning
behaviors, they can and do save lives.” - former U.S. Secret Service Director James Murray. access director murray's statement here.
pbsi is designed to identify the underlying motives and root causes that can lead to violence, so that they can be addressed and mitigated through intervention to prevent and preempt an attack.
if
your safety and security plan is focused solely on weapon detection, you may miss an opportunity to address the more prominent issues facing students today:
