GAT Force provides a range of customized services that align with the unique needs of elementary schools. Our approach to school security is holistic, ensuring that both digital and physical spaces are secured. Here’s how we can support Washington Unified’s mission to provide a safe learning environment:

1. Proactive Threat Monitoring and Response

• Utilizing cutting-edge AI-driven surveillance and analytics, we offer real-time monitoring of school premises. Our systems are designed to detect suspicious activities and potential threats before they escalate, ensuring rapid response and containment. This approach reduces the risk of harm and helps prevent incidents through early intervention.

1. Emergency Management and Communication Systems

• In case of emergencies, our systems provide instant communication with school administrators and first responders. This includes automated alerts, digital access control, and mass notification systems that help streamline emergency procedures and improve response times. For West Fresno Elementary, these tools ensure that staff and students can react swiftly and appropriately in any crisis situation.

1. Digital Security and Data Protection

• With schools increasingly relying on digital platforms for learning and communication, GAT Force implements robust cybersecurity measures to protect student and staff information. Our solutions include firewall management, network security assessments, and ongoing monitoring to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

1. Visitor Management Systems

• Ensuring that only authorized individuals access the school is critical. Our visitor management systems use facial recognition technology and digital check-in processes to enhance on-site security. These systems keep track of visitors, volunteers, and contractors, minimizing the potential for unauthorized access and enhancing overall campus safety.

1. Customized Training and Drills

• Educating staff and students on safety protocols is crucial. GAT Force offers customized training sessions and drills tailored to West Fresno Elementary’s needs, covering topics like active shooter response, lockdown procedures, and emergency evacuations. Our programs are designed to instill confidence and ensure everyone knows how to act quickly and effectively during an emergency.

Promoting a Positive and Secure School Culture

Our focus at GAT Force is not only on physical security but also on fostering a positive school culture. We believe that a safe environment goes hand-in-hand with a welcoming atmosphere where students feel supported and engaged. To that end, we work closely with school administrators to implement strategies that minimize disruptive behaviors and enhance the sense of community within the school.

Supporting Grant Funding and Community Collaboration

GAT Force is committed to supporting schools in accessing the resources needed to implement these security enhancements. We align our services with various federal and state grant programs that prioritize school safety initiatives, such as the Department of Justice’s COPS Office School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) and the Department of Education’s School Emergency Management grants.
