School Security Guard

Security for K–12 Schools

K–12 schools are at the heart of every community. Protecting students requires security personnel who are highly visible, approachable, and trained to detect risks before they escalate. Meyer Defense specializes in providing school resource officers and unarmed security staff who work directly with administrators to enhance safety without disrupting the educational environment.

Key services for K–12 include:

• Visitor & Access Control: Screening all visitors, issuing badges, and monitoring entry points.
• Perimeter & Parking Lot Patrols: Preventing trespassing, loitering, and unauthorized access around school grounds.
• Crisis Response & Lockdowns: Supporting staff during emergencies including active threat scenarios, severe weather, or facility evacuations.
• Student Safety Monitoring: Maintaining order during arrival, dismissal, lunch breaks, and extracurricular events.
• Conflict De-escalation: Officers trained in youth communication techniques to manage disruptive behavior safely and professionally.

Security for Colleges & Universities

Higher education campuses operate like small cities, with thousands of students, faculty, and visitors moving across multiple facilities every day. Our armed and unarmed officers integrate seamlessly with campus police, administrators, and student affairs staff to provide a professional presence and rapid incident response.

University security services include:

• Residence Hall & Dorm Security: Monitoring entry points to student housing and ensuring safety during late-night hours.
• Event Security: Providing crowd management and access control for concerts, athletic events, and special gatherings.
• Campus Patrols: Visible deterrence through foot, bike, and vehicle patrols across large campus grounds.
• Technology Integration: Working alongside video surveillance and access control systems to create a layered approach to safety.
• Emergency Management Support: Rapid deployment during campus-wide incidents such as protests, active shooter threats, or severe weather events.

Armed & Unarmed School Security Officers

Meyer Defense recognizes that not all schools require the same level of protection. We offer flexible security solutions

• Unarmed Officers: Ideal for K–12 schools and community colleges where visibility, deterrence, and relationship-building are the priority.
• Armed Officers: Deployed in higher-risk environments or campuses requiring elevated protection, such as universities in urban centers or schools with a history of security incidents.

Every officer undergoes specialized training in school security operations, including active threat response, emergency evacuation, de-escalation techniques, and communication with students and parents.

CPR-Certified & Emergency-Ready Guards

Meyer Defense ensures that our school security guards are CPR and First Aid certified. In an educational setting, medical emergencies are just as likely as security incidents, and our officers are prepared to respond immediately while awaiting EMS or school nurses.

This dual capability enhances student safety, offering reassurance to parents, administrators, and faculty that every emergency is met with a trained, capable response.
