Security for K-12 Schools
MGP helps K-12 schools build safe, welcoming campuses with trained officers at the entrance, practiced emergency response and security plans that fit the school day.
What K-12 Leaders Face
School leaders must protect students and staff while keeping campuses open to families and the community.
- Controlling entry during the school day
- Custody disputes and unauthorized pickups
- Arrival, dismissal and bus loop safety
- Threats, fights and bullying
- After-hours events and facility rentals
- Drill compliance and emergency readiness
How MGP Supports Schools
MGP officers staff the single point of entry, run visitor management, support the school’s response protocol and drills, and help carry out the reunification plan. Officers support the school’s threat assessment team by reporting concerns and following safety plans the team sets.
- Single point of entry and visitor management
- Standard Response Protocol and drill support
- Reunification site security
- Arrival, dismissal and bus loop traffic control
- CPTED and campus security reviews
- Athletic and evening event coverage
- Off-duty police coordination where local rules allow
Officers Selected for Schools
School officers are chosen for judgment and communication skills, complete state licensing background checks, and train on the school’s emergency plan, student interaction rules and FERPA privacy expectations.

Does MGP serve private schools?

What is CPTED?
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is a method of using building layout, lighting, sightlines and access points to discourage crime. MGP uses it in campus security reviews.
