School Safety Net

Law enforcement is at the very foundation of school safety. Building relationships between the students, staff, and law enforcement community is critical to supporting school safety. Learn what resources law enforcement has to offer your school and how you can best utilize these resources to ensure safer schools.

The tutorials and learning activities were developed to increase your awareness of how the law enforcement and school communities can interact and support each other's efforts to build a safe, collaborative American school community partnership.
