Keeping Our Schools Safe
Safer Schools combines decades of expertise in behavioral threat detection, federal law enforcement, and academic research with cutting-edge design and adult learning technologies. Founded by a former FBI agent and threat profiler, we created online education designed specifically for parents to empower you to recognize and address potential threats before they become tragedies.
Informed by specialty training in security and law enforcement and perfected over decades, our courses teach immediately applicable skills in an easy to understand, conversational manner that help parents be proactive in helping to prevent the next school shooter.
A message from Safer Schools founder, Allison Sands
Research shows school shootings can be prevented, yet resources on threat detection are not geared to those who are most likely to see the warning signs – parents. Available information is academic, lengthy, and spread across many disparate sources. There is no research-driven, easily accessible, and low cost online training for parents who want to be more proactive in keeping their kids safe by recognizing early warning signs and taking action before the next school shooting occurs.
