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 some 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 a school emergency operations plan, or EOP.
The StrataSite® Active Threat Plan™ platform gives SROs the tools to enhance the preparedness of the building and community stakeholders by creating a coordinated response plan that supplements the school EOP to ensure all stakeholders are prepared and unified to address any active threat on campus.
Why SROs Prefer the StrataSite® Active Threat Plan™
Aligning all stakeholders is perhaps the most difficult, yet critical, aspect of launching a coordinated emergency response. The StrataSite Active Threat Plan is the only emergency response planning platform that allows SROs and community stakeholders to work together, from anywhere, to create a digital incident action plan, train all stakeholders around the plan, and store all safety materials in one centralized location.
