Schools & Campuses

Learn how to protect the most precious gift a parent can receive, their children.

Faculty and staff charged with the education and development of our youth don't have the luxury of an "everyone for themselves" approach to an active shooter event or any other critical incident that may occur on school grounds. They have been entrusted with the most precious gift a parent can receive, our children. This fact makes the entire approach to securing our schools and responding to an emergency event extremely unique and challenging.

That's where we come in. As active and retired military and law enforcement experts, we have planned and conducted thousands of high-risk tactical and surreptitious operations and have defeated hundreds of security measures. This unique experience gives us amazing insight into what real physical security looks like and, more importantly, how to achieve it.

Our training ensures your campus is best positioned to deter violent acts from occurring; however, in the event of an emergency, your staff and designated officials will be empowered to detect and respond to any event immediately with a specific plan and purpose, saving lives and mitigating casualties.

    How Do We Work?

    Our process begins with a comprehensive threat assessment and site survey, during which we evaluate the strengths and vulnerabilities of your buildings, campus grounds, previous training efforts, and faculty and staff readiness. Based on these findings, we develop a customized, in-depth training program that outlines key areas for improvement, provides actionable recommendations, and establishes tailored protocols for implementation.

    We remain actively engaged throughout the process—guiding improvements and equipping your faculty and staff with hands-on training specific to your classrooms, student demographics, building structures, and campus layout. Recognizing the unfortunate and increasing threat of acts of violence, we also recommend and offer annual in-service training to ensure your team remains prepared and responsive as risks continue to evolve.

    “The biggest barrier when you're thinking about training for faculty is making a decision on return on investment. What I would say as a Head of School is that these are some of the best dollars we have ever spent in terms of professional development for our faculty and staff."

    Head of School, Battle Ground Academy

    "Quite possibly the best in-service we ever had. I received more positive feedback from our teachers and staff than any other presentation for the past 10 years. Our students are safer this year."

    "Brink and Defend Systems did three things incredibly well: knew their audience, empowered us with knowledge, and gave us tactics around taking care of our students in the event of an active shooter. Our school is a better and safer place for having worked with Defend Systems."

    Head of School, Spartanburg Day School

    "We recently had Defend Systems on campus to train our entire faculty. In the past, we’ve relied on our local law enforcement for similar training sessions, but those often left our faculty with more questions and a sense of fear. Given the seriousness of the topic, many of our staff felt apprehensive when they saw it on the calendar. However, our experience this time exceeded all expectations. For the first time, our faculty walked away from the training feeling empowered by what they had learned. Brink, Tracey, Gloria, and Adam did an outstanding job. They were not only informative and relatable but also managed to make the training engaging and enjoyable. We look forward to working with them again in the future."

    Head of School, Brainerd Baptist School

    "Defend Systems was an amazing resource to our school, Holy Trinity Montessori, as we built and designed our new campus. They are extremely knowledgeable in their expertise of safety, school trauma, and emergency awareness. In this day and age, schools must live in a very different time of awareness and safety, and having Defend Systems as a resource has been invaluable.

    As we designed our new campus, we looked at all issues of intrusion, school shooting, and school emergencies. The team at Defend Systems was able to advise us on this journey as seen in our design process with the architecture firm. I would recommend Defend Systems and their expertise in any emergency situation consulting. We have enjoyed working with them and look forward to working with them in the future."
