THE Journal, a leading resource for administrative, technical and academic technology leaders in K-12 education, outlined the use of the Haystax-built mobile school assessment tool by Los Angeles School Police Department. The tool helps to identify crime and safety vulnerabilities and guides school evaluators through questions about building infrastructure, physical security, safety policies and emergency planning procedures. The assessments, which take about a day to complete, helps schools – and external public safety agencies – be better prepared when responding to campus incidents. “We can’t eliminate all vulnerabilities, but we can eliminate a significant number through our in-depth school site evaluations,” said Sergeant Steve Mayoral of the LASPD. A similar initiative was launched last October in Florida using Haystax software. Please click this link for more information about the LASPD mobile assessment tool
