Safety & Security

One of our most significant responsibilities is ensuring the safety and security of students, staff, and visitors. Establishing a safe and orderly environment provides the greatest opportunity for positive individual development and success in student learning. We constantly strive to enhance our safety and security initiatives through open communication, strong community partnerships, progressive policies and procedures, and proactive action by our staff.

The Department of Safety and Security is responsible for developing and implementing system-wide safety and security programs and initiatives that enhance the overall safety and security of all SMCPS school campuses and supporting office sites. Developing, refining, and implementing a comprehensive safety and security plan is the cornerstone of the department. There are three critical pillars that form the foundation of the department’s safety and security plan. They are the implementation of physical security measures, ensuring the campus environment and culture embrace the importance of safety and security, and sustained community engagement.
