Nothing is more important to parents than the safety and security of their children. School violence across Canada has become more of an issue than it was before. Statistically, a recent survey conducted by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) found that 75% of the members who participated in the survey faced violence in educational institutions. 

Apart from the teachers, the violence among the students is also at an all-time high, according to the provincial data and violence reports. In a study of Canadian Students from a small town in Ontario, almost more than 70%  were the victims of theft, bullying, and harassment while at school. This spreading violence is an alarming situation which needs to be addressed and handled properly.

However, private and governmental institutions put a lot of effort into handling violence at schools. Schools now have private security guards on duty around their precincts. These security guards ensure the parents return with peace of mind after dropping their children off at school. Let’s discuss how the security guards create peace of mind while implementing safety at schools;  

     Ensure Peace of Mind For Parents with G Force Security Guards

Provide a Secure Environment 

Security Guards are essential for maintaining the safety and security of the school. Their presence not only helps to create a safer environment at school but also ensures peace of mind for the parents, faculty, and staff. Children are emotionally sensitive, and rising incidents of bullying and violent behavior can affect their education and growth. 

Emotionally triggered incidents consequently lead to bitter results. Here, security guards have a role to play to provide a secure educational environment at the campus. They are uniformed, professionally trained guards whose main focus is not to let anyone interrupt academic activities and disrupt the school’s peace.

Continuous Monitoring Entering and Exit Points 

Security guards ensure that no unauthorized item enters the educational boundary. Many incidents have been reported of violent crimes where violent students or bullies bring harmful material into schools, causing danger to everyone’s life. Security guards scrutinize everyone and control access through physical random checking and CCTV cameras. Their presence deters many harmful incidents and ensures everyone’s safety.

Potentially Overcome the Disciplinary Issues 

Security guards also play a vital role in reducing disciplinary issues within the school. Their presence in the school forces students to adhere to the rules and regulations of the school, which might otherwise behave violently and aggressively. 

Additionally, their appearance across the campus reduces incidents like bullying, fighting, sexual harassment, theft, and other threats and provides a more disciplined and focused learning environment for the faculty members and students.

De-escalation of Violence in Schools

Security guards are well-trained professionals who can de-escalate any violent situation with perfection. Teachers and other faculty members may try a de-escalation talk, but their efforts might not be as successful as the security guards. Security guards are uninformed and equipped with essential gadgets to use in self-defense and to stop a violent individual from further escalating the situation to bitter results. 

However, their priority is always to resolve the situation by diplomatic conversation; this is what they are trained for. They are trained to break up fistfights among students and use justified force to prevent intruders from harming the school’s property. 

We provides security guards who are professionally trained to mitigate violent incidents. If you are looking to appoint extra security to your educational institutions,   Contact G Force Security Services. They essentially train their security to handle all violent situations accordingly—by force or by conversation. 

Protection Against Real-Time Emergencies

Security guards are equipped with emergency gadgets to handle real-time emergencies, whether medical emergencies, campus fires, security threats, or student riots. They are always ready to keep everyone safe and provide the required first aid, CPR, and mental support to avoid any trauma until the concerned department reaches the spot to handle the situation themselves.

G Force Security provides its guards with essential knowledge and training to control real-time emergencies voluntarily, such as knowing the CPR process and first aid in case of medical emergencies and guiding students to the nearest safe place in case of a threat alert.

Support Faculty and Staff Members in Other Areas

With all the benefits mentioned above of a security guard to enhance the safety and security of the school, security guards also support faculty members in other responsibilities. Security personnel can help investigate and gather evidence of any potential threat, control students’ crowds in case of fire eruption, and perform security duties during sports or social events far from the campus. Security guards help faculty members and management to focus on academic duties while they handle the security of the surroundings.  

Conclusion

With the rising security concerns at educational institutions, schools are now more vulnerable to criminal incidents. School authorities have taken steps by appointing adequate security measures at schools and security guards at the campus. These guards are professionally trained to handle any escalation situation at school. Their presence at educational institutions spreads deterrence among criminals and students. Criminals are reluctant to commit crimes, and students are more willing to adhere to the rules and regulations of school policy.
