Educational Institution Consulting

Let us help you protect what matters most.

The Holdfast Security Group provides onsite security and preparedness consulting and training for school faculty and staff. Our holistic approach emphasizes practical, low-cost recommendations to enhance campus security while recognizing the goal of maintaining a welcoming campus. Our unique and individualized approach empowers faculty and staff to handle a crisis without using fear as a motivator.

Elements of an Onsite Visit

• Preliminary site survey to determine security baselines.
• Key administrator briefing to provide an initial threat assessment and security analysis of the workplace.
• Security Considerations for Schools presentation for all employees.
• Follow-on, personalized/localized consultations for faculty and staff within their assigned classrooms or work areas.
• Meet with administrators to discuss key findings and strategies to improve safety at the school, including a violence prevention plan and the establishment of a multidisciplinary threat assessment team.
• Final report detailing observations and recommendations.
This presentation is designed to inform and empower faculty and staff members to become stakeholders in their own security. This discussion is usually conducted at the beginning of our onsite facility visit and is designed to set expectations and facilitate the development of individualized security action plans that compliment the overall facility strategy.
Following the all employee presentation, we meet with faculty and staff to provide personalized/localized consultations within their classrooms or assigned work areas. This customized approach gives employees the opportunity to ask questions and develop sound strategies to keep themselves and their students safe.
Soon after the visit, our clients are provided with a detailed report of observations and recommendations. The report is followed by a consultation with the client to review the report and discuss priorities and implementation.

"Rob and his team were the right mixture of expertise, approachable, comforting, and empowering. After decades of seeking the right safety and security training for a PreKindergarten -12th grade school, we have found partners who both inform and empower our faculty and staff to know the why, how, and what to do to keep themselves and our students safe."

“Every once in a while we come across a resource we just feel the need to share. Over the last two days I have been incredibly impressed the Holdfast Security Group…(They)took the time to meet with every teacher and go over their concerns, upgrade and revise their classroom lockdown plans and just made our campus feel more empowered to handle a crisis response without using fear as a motivator. Very practical in his approach and also held a parent town hall for us. Simply - very impressed.”

Dr. Spencer Taintor, Head of School, Saint Mark’s Episcopal School
I highly recommend the Holdfast Security Group. Mike and Rob spent a full day at our school, meeting with the entire staff as well as individual visits to each classroom. They did a thorough assessment of our campus and provided a full written report after their visit. They were very professional and helped our staff feel better about safety. If you need experts who know security, this is the group to call!
