Logo for the SSOCC

  • Our Mission is simple:  SAFE SCHOOLS.  Our Vision is critical:  PUTTING YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN SAFETY.  Our focus is a complete, team oriented, start-to-finish approach, incorporating all three major safety targets, Prevention, Response and Recovery.  To accomplish that, we focus on four critical school safety pillars:

    • Teams:  Assembling and training your staff
    • Plans:  Creating solid, adaptable protocols for all hazards
    • Communication:  Ensuring that EVERYONE knows the plan
    • Testing:  Establishing a culture of practical, progressive and effective practice

    A state-recognized program, the SSOCC currently serves over 25 districts and nearly 100 schools throughout Washington.  In partnership with law enforcement, fire departments, behavioral health, insurance providers, emergency management and a host of others, our passion is your protection.

    • Monthly safety consultations
    • Leading practice Safe School Plan
    • Development of Crisis Planning and Response Teams
    • Comprehensive school safety training
    • Progressive school safety drills
    • Quick and easy customizable resources
    • Accountability for drills, exercises and other legal requirements
    • Threat Assessment
    • Alerting and Communication Tools
    • Monitoring and reporting on 911 alerts
