School security services
Entrance and visitor management
A single controlled entrance during the school day: visitor verification and ID, badges, vendor and parent check-in, delivery handling, and a professional presence that reassures parents and deters anyone who should not be there.
Arrival and dismissal
Carline and traffic management, verified pickups, perimeter watch during the most vulnerable minutes of the day, coordination with staff and crossing guards.
Campus patrols
Roving officers checking doors, gates, playgrounds, fields, parking lots and perimeter fencing; response to alarms and staff calls.
Armed and unarmed officers
Armed Class G officers at the main entrance where the school chooses; unarmed Class D officers for dismissal, patrols and events. Officers are trained on the school’s emergency plan — lockdown, evacuation, reunification — and drill with staff.
Events and athletics
Graduations, performances, fundraisers, athletic events, dances, camps and overnight events — event security with crowd management and parking.
After-hours and weekend coverage
Overnight patrols against vandalism and theft of technology; weekend coverage for religious services and community events on campus.
Threat assessment support and investigations
Support to administrators on concerning behavior, harassment and threats, custody-related pickup disputes and internal theft, with licensed investigators when needed.
Staff protection
Officers during difficult parent meetings, terminations and restraining-order situations.
How we set up school security
- Campus assessment with the head of school and administration: entrances, schedule, dismissal flow, events calendar, emergency plan, current concerns.
- Program and post orders — posts and hours, visitor procedure, dismissal procedure, emergency roles, communication with staff and police.
- Officer selection — officers screened for temperament with children, trained on the school’s child-protection and emergency policies; fixed roster so students and parents know them.
- Operations — supervisor visits, daily reports, incident reports, participation in drills, review each semester.
Why schools choose FSO Guard
- Officers parents trust — screened, trained, consistent faces at the gate.
- Licensed Florida security agency (Class B), officers with Class D and Class G licenses, insurance as required by the state; certificates for the school and its insurer on request.
- Clear roles — we complement, and do not replace, school district police, the Guardian program and the school’s own staff.
- English, Spanish and Russian speaking officers for international school communities.
- One provider for daily posts, events, after-hours patrols and investigations.
