The Center will help formulate the annual school safety survey, which will serve as a tool for schools to regularly check and update their progress towards establishing safety goals. The Center will assist schools in the creation of a school community network of resources that can be used to support school staff and students and provide guidelines for effective programming that can be integrated into schools and community prevention efforts as part of the support network. Finally, the Center will provide in-depth technical assistance during the planning process and the implementation of school safety plans. This forum includes the leaders in law enforcement from state and local and federal agencies. I believe government and non-profit institutions alone cannot solve the problems of youth violence.
True progress starts in the home, and lasting solutions emerge from community involvement.
Please join us. I look forward to working with communities across Colorado in helping to make our communities and our schools Safe Communities - Safe Schools .
