BALANCED PROTECTION FOR STUDENTS, STAFF, AND CAMPUS LIFE
No parent should ever have to wonder whether their children are safe at school. PalAmerican provides service-oriented security programs to protect students, staff, and the public, while providing a positive and unintrusive experience. Our services keep people safe and facilities secured while remaining open and accessible to a vulnerable student population.

Before assigning security personnel to your school, PalAmerican conducts a risk assessment that evaluates several safety and security key factors:
- School location relative to surrounding crime demographics
- Physical security measures (i.e. cameras, detection equipment)
- Staff and student security concerns
- School community relationships and impact on school safety
- Gangs and gang-related behavior
- School security staffing, posts, and post orders
- Layout of campus and student body makeup

THE PALAMERICAN DIFFERENCE
The PalAmerican Difference lies in our ability to train our officers to provide an exceptional security presence while helping students, teachers, and staff feel safe and protected. We achieve this thanks to friendly officers who receive the industry’s best training to help them carry out their duties properly and confidently.
In addition to our standard security training, which is typically 2 to 3 times longer and more extensive than our competitors, our officers are enrolled in special courses relating to education and working with minors. We understand that campuses are a place where students learn, grow, and make lasting memories, and security should promote that environment. That is why our officers also receive Mental Health First Aid or ASSIST training, ensuring they are equipped to respond effectively and appropriately in the field.
