Risk & Vulnerability Assessment

A risk & vulnerability assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a school’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of school safety. The assessment includes the following components of the school’s infrastructure:

  • Outside Perimeter (fencing, parking lot, grounds, etc.)
  • Exterior (cameras, lights, alarms, etc.)
  • Interior (access controls, entrances, classrooms, etc.)  
  • Arrival and Dismissal (buses, walkers, parents, etc.)
  • Low level lighting (after hours)
  • Policies and Procedures

Trends in school safety have significantly changed for the better since Columbine.
