No two schools are alike, and while best practices surrounding safety can apply to most situations, no security plan is one-size-fits-all. School security requires a specialized, careful approach and planning.

That’s where The Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) comes in. PASS brings together educators, public officials, and industry experts to develop a coordinated approach to K-12 safety using proven practices, education and free resources.

In this episode of The Changing Face of School Security, Chuck Wilson, the co-founder and chairman of the Board of Directors for PASS, joined host Paul Timm to discuss the origin, mission, and growth of PASS over the years, significant changes in school security protocols, including thermal imaging and vape detection, and his predictions for the evolution of school security in the coming years.
