Understanding the Security Needs of SBCOE’s East Valley Community

Given the complex dynamics of an educational ecosystem that serves a diverse population, the East Valley Community faces unique challenges that require a specialized approach to safety and security. These include safeguarding multiple campuses, coordinating with local law enforcement, protecting digital infrastructure, and ensuring the emotional and physical well-being of students, staff, and families. Additionally, recent trends in school safety highlight the need for solutions that not only respond to potential incidents but also anticipate and neutralize threats before they manifest.

GAT Force’s Approach to Comprehensive School Security
