First established in 2014, in response to the school shooting at Sandy Hook, the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) was created to bring together expertise from the education, public safety, and industry communities with a mission to develop a coordinated approach to enhancing safety and security in K-12 environments. In this episode, we speak with Vice-Chair, Mark Williams, on how PASS provides school administrators, school boards, and public safety and security professionals with the information, tools, and insights needed to implement nationwide best practices to secure and enhance the safety of school environments based on their individual needs. We are also joined by Paul Timm, VP at Facility Engineering Associates, to cover an all-hazard approach to school safety.
