As educational institutions nationwide evaluate and enhance safety and security measures across their campuses, many are recognizing the value in implementing school resource officer (SRO) programs. Recently passed legislation in several states even mandates the employment of an SRO. While the role of an SRO is to provide law enforcement while establishing working relationships with administration and students, an SRO often serves as an emergency manager or planner for a school or district, an integral part of which is helping to establish and/or maintain the school's emergency operations plan, or EOP.
The StrataSite® platform not only aids SROs in building an EOP, but this incident action planning platform can also supplement the EOP to coordinate responders and communicate vital incident data to emergency call centers in real time.
Read on to learn how SROs use StrataSite to coordinate stakeholders around a single plan of action to address any active threat on your campus.
