For 4 years I was solely in charge of our entire county, over 140 schools and 104,000 students. I made certain that each school had an emergency plan, ran the proper drills, maintained their physical security barriers. I personally attended PTA, SAC, and monthly teacher safety briefings and produced training PowerPoints for principals and administrators to standardize the county drills and procedures. Attending national seminars and trainings, active shooter scenarios, and certification through CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) kept me up to date on all aspects of school safety. 

I have just completed my book on Active shooter training in schools. It is called “The First Five Minutes: School Shooting survival guide for Administrators and Teachers.” https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLFW5FBK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
