Security for Schools

Axis offers Security for Schools. Our children are our most precious resource. Keeping them safe in an ever-changing environment of social unrest and violence has become a top priority for school districts everywhere. Due to the sensitive nature of schools, security measures must be both friendly and welcoming, yet alert and proactive.

School security is a delicate balance and your Axis Armed Officers will not only be professional and discreet, they will be on the front line of defense with a smile and an encouraging word. Your officers will be out front “taking the temperature” of the student body. Alert and watchful for anything out of place, your officer will look for ID tags, over-sized bags, large coats, signs of drug or alcohol use and erratic behavior. Their mission is to stop any threat before it gets in the door.

With the rise in kidnapping, domestic disputes and custody issues, Axis Security is a positive presence in your school. Our Uniformed Officers discourage would-be kidnappers or non-custodial parents from taking a child without permission. Need more comprehensive background checks on staff and volunteers? Axis would be happy to put our investigative research skills to work for you. Just ask! We’re happy to offer this added security measure for your protection.

We also work with local police departments and your staff to make a list of Persons of Interest – pictures and descriptions of people with undesirable intentions who may find their way into your facility during the school day or a special event. This includes registered sex offenders from your area.

At Axis Protection, we go the extra mile to study your facility and schedule. We offer a full security assessment of all buildings, grounds, parking areas and recreational facilities. Looking for strengths and weaknesses, lighting, camera placement, doors, locks and fences are all noted, and a custom protection plan is provided before our officers are put in place. Our goal is to mitigate any circumstance that might put your staff or students in harm’s way.

If you do not have a security system in place, Axis Protection would like to offer our time and expertise in helping you find comprehensive, effective technology that fits your budget.

We also give schools the option to let us conduct live training in your facility to better prepare your Armed Officers for scenarios such as active shooter, kidnapping, domestic violence, hostage and possible suicide. These live trainings with seasoned police as our “perpetrators” are an invaluable service to you and we do this free of charge. We want your Axis Protection Officers to be prepared to mitigate threat for a positive, peaceful outcome.

Games, concerts or public events? With intimate knowledge of your facility, your Axis Protection Officer will help you put a full security plan in place during public events. We understand and respect the positive atmosphere are you and your staff are building. Our officers are motivated to use discretion, friendliness and attentiveness at all times.

An off-duty police officer may or may not be permitted to lock and unlock doors and set alarms at your facility. The benefit of having an Axis Protection Officers is we can open and close your facility doors, as well as do security sweeps before any staff or students arrive, keeping your facility safe from potential threats. A final walk-through will be done at the end of the school day. All doors will be locked, double-checked and the facility fully secured, setting alarms where needed, for maximum assurance.

Using our electronic reporting system, your officers will have detailed, GPS marked patrol notes in your email each morning. Your administration can rest assured knowing their officers are highly trained, seasoned veterans are looking out for your staff and students.
