Our mission is to keep our children safe.
Our number one priority is to assist in creating and maintaining a safe, secure, and nurturing learning environment for students, staff,
and school visitors by working hand in hand with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
The McComb School District School Safety Department, through continued enhancement of programs and services,
will strive to support the educational needs of the school district and the community we serve.
The responsibility and purpose of the District Safety/Security Officer is to promote and maintain a safe environment
for students and staff of the McComb School District. Safety Officers provide important security services, making
it possible for all members of the school district to participate in academic and extra-curricular activities on
all campuses.
District Safety Officers are civilian employees who are unarmed. Their primary role, within the limits of the law
and the authority granted by the School District, is to protect the persons and property of the district. This
mission is accomplished primarily through the following model: Prevention, Observation and Reporting.
|
|
Prevention
District Safety Officers are a vital resource in crime prevention and maintaining order. Proactive, highly
visible District Safety Officers leverage the ability of security teams.
|
|
Observation
District Safety Officers are trained in observing and recording pertinent information when crimes occur,
documenting crime trend information and preventive strategies.
|
|
Reporting
District Safety Officers are essential in reporting information to site administrators and School Police
Officers to ensure the safety of students and staff. District Safety Officers are generally deployed to all
high school, junior high school, middle school, and alternative school. District Safety Officers are
responsible for security concerns on and around the immediate perimeter of school campuses, District
facilities and assigned events. Other authorized functions may include monitoring and implementing safety
standards established by the District.
