  • How can I schedule a security assessment consultation?

  • What is the H.E.L.P.™ program and how does it differ from ALICE or SRP?
    H.E.L.P.™ (Hide, Evacuate, Listen, Protect Yourself) is a school safety initiative explicitly designed for students in Pre-K through 8th grade, offering age-appropriate emergency response training that builds confidence without instilling fear. Unlike ALICE or SRP, which focus on broad, often high school-level crisis strategies, H.E.L.P.™ bridges the developmental gap by using simple, memorable steps tailored to younger learners. It complements, rather than replaces, existing protocols like ALICE and SRP by: Simplifying emergency actions for younger students Aligning with trauma-informed and SEL practices Integrating with district-wide safety plans and law enforcement coordination In short, H.E.L.P.™ makes safety education accessible and empowering for children, while reinforcing the broader emergency frameworks already in place.
