Guardians Against Threats Force

Introduction

The safety and security of students, faculty, and staff are paramount for educational institutions. In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, schools face a variety of challenges ranging from potential physical intrusions to cybersecurity risks. GAT Force, a leader in advanced threat detection and AI-driven security solutions, proposes a partnership with Hemet High School under the Hemet Unified School District to establish a proactive and comprehensive safety program. This initiative aims to protect not only the physical campus but also the digital infrastructure that supports the educational environment.

Security Needs Assessment

Hemet High School, as part of the Hemet Unified School District, is committed to providing a secure and supportive atmosphere for over 2,000 students and staff members. With a sprawling campus and diverse extracurricular activities, there is a pressing need to implement a robust security framework that encompasses:

1. Physical Security: Ensuring the safety of school entrances, hallways, common areas, and perimeters.
2. Cybersecurity: Protecting sensitive student and faculty data from potential cyber threats.
3. Emergency Preparedness: Establishing protocols for various emergency scenarios, including intrusions, natural disasters, and health-related incidents.
4. Incident Reporting and Analysis: Implementing a seamless communication system for reporting, analyzing, and addressing security incidents in real-time.
