Comprehensive Threat Assessment & Risk Management

GAT Force specializes in offering tailored security solutions that go beyond traditional protocols. For Mariano Castro Elementary, we recommend a comprehensive Threat Assessment and Risk Management Plan that identifies potential vulnerabilities both on and off-campus. This plan includes:

• Campus Vulnerability Assessment: A detailed evaluation of the school’s infrastructure, including entry and exit points, to identify security gaps and recommend enhancements such as improved surveillance, access control systems, and emergency protocols.
• Behavioral Threat Assessment Training: Training for staff and faculty to recognize early signs of distress or unusual behavior among students or visitors. Our programs empower school personnel to take preemptive action, reducing the likelihood of incidents before they escalate.
• Real-time Monitoring and Incident Reporting: Using AI-driven technologies, GAT Force can set up systems for real-time monitoring, ensuring that any anomalies or potential threats are immediately flagged for investigation. This proactive approach minimizes response time and enhances the safety of all students and staff.

• AI-enhanced Surveillance Systems: Our intelligent camera systems can detect unusual activity patterns and send real-time alerts to administrators, ensuring potential threats are neutralized quickly and efficiently.
• Visitor Management Systems: Automated check-in/check-out systems to keep track of all visitors, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the campus. This adds a critical layer of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.
• Integrated Communication Platforms: GAT Force’s systems also include emergency communication platforms that connect staff, security personnel, and local law enforcement, providing seamless coordination during any incident.
