The Comprehensive School Safety Solution (CS3) is based on the premise that most school violence and crises can be prevented through early intervention and response. No approach can eliminate completely bullying, gangs, vandalism and graffiti, but early identification and management of potential threats is the foundation of a safe school environment. The best way to identify and manage potential threats is by developing a sustainable safety program that leverages people, process and technology to cost effectively create a safe learning environment.
But in these challenging financial times, educators are struggling to maintain safety in the face of budget cuts. With CS3, administrators can sustain and enhance safe learning environments while saving money and providing a healthy return on investment. As a result of intervention and prevention strategies and deployment of security technologies, industry studies prove that in the year following deployment of a comprehensive safety solution, productivity among faculty, maintenance and security staff will increase 4 to 6 times, theft and vandalism will decrease 45% to 65% and violent crimes will fall by 70% to 85%.
The circumstances in every school district are different and financial benefits will vary. To help administrators forecast savings, the CS3 team has developed a sophisticated Return On Safety Investment calculator to help administrators weigh their investment options.
