School safety remains a constant concern for security leaders across the U.S. Raptor Technologies worked with the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) to develop a survey on school safety and student wellness.
The survey surfaced critical data and insight on obstacles related to school safety and security processes, such as physical security, safety drills and procedures and emergency response planning. In addition to 60% of respondents citing "mental health issues" as the greatest school safety obstacle they are encountering, 78% of respondents indicated the mental health needs of their student population have increased since returning post-Covid.
