School Site Evaluations

School Site Evaluation/Vulnerability Assessment

LAUSD administrators can request a School Site Evaluation/Vulnerability Assessment from the LASPD at no charge. Once the assessment is completed, the LASPD will compile the results of the assessment and schedule a meeting with the school site administrator(s) and/or Local District to personally debrief and discuss the findings of the School Site Evaluation/Vulnerability Assessment to identify best practices to aid you and your staff in improving student, staff, and campus safety School Site Evaluations are a critical component of the Los Angeles School Police Department’s (LASPD) approach to enhancing campus safety.

The LASPD has specially trained officers with extensive experience and practical knowledge in safeguarding schools, who will conduct a School Site Evaluation (SSE)/Vulnerability Assessment of each site. The LASPD officers will work jointly with the staff of each school to gather data to assess the physical structures of the campus and the safety procedures of the school site.

Implementation of the SSE Program

In September of 2012, , the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the United States Secret Service (USSS), and the LASPD worked collaboratively to develop computer software specially designed to provide School Site Evaluations/Vulnerability Assessments to school site administrator(s) to assist in improving safety to students, staff, and school sites.

The Active Shooter attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012, prompted a significant response from President Barack Obama. On January 16, 2013, President Obama presented his Executive Order “Gun Violence Reduction Executive Action”, with the stated purpose to, “Provide law enforcement, first responders and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.”

In April 2013, the LASPD began conducting School Site Evaluations in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). School Site Evaluations/Vulnerability Assessments are an integral part of LASPD’s comprehensive approach to assisting administrators in improving student/staff safety, developing campus safety best practices, and enhancing the implementation of the Safe School Plan at each school.

Request For Safety Valet Training

The Safety Valet program is designed to help improve student safety and provide more fluid movement of vehicular traffic around schools during the morning drop off. A valet directs drivers through a queue of traffic cones where volunteers assist students to safely exit the car. This eliminates the need for parents to exit their vehicles and for students to cross busy intersections.

To help schools interested in establishing a Safety Valet Program, we have prepared the following flyers that contain useful information for parents, students and volunteers:

Gun Violence Restraining Order

Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) is a civil court order, signed by a judge, that temporarily prohibits someone who is at risk of hurting themselves or others from possessing or purchasing any guns or ammunition for 21 days.

This policy offers family members, household members, law enforcement, certain teachers, school employees, co-workers, and employers a tool for temporarily preventing access to firearms by those loved ones in a crisis.

After the petition is filed, a judge considers the information presented by the petitioner and assesses whether the person is at risk of harming themselves or someone else.

If issued, a temporary GVRO will be in effect for 21 days or less. If the subject does not own or possess firearms, he or she is prohibited from purchasing any firearm and ammunition for the duration of the order.
