Project Title: Advancing School Safety in Colorado through Training and Technology with School Resource Officers, Multidisciplinary School Safety Teams, and Anonymous Reporting

CSPV researchers are partnering with the Colorado School Safety Resource Center (CSSRC), Safe2Tell, Navigate 360 and the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) to accomplish the following five project goals: (1) train 150 School Resource Officers (SROs) and 30 SRO supervisors on best practices in school-based law enforcement with NASRO; (2) train 5 CSSRC trainers on NASRO’s Project Unite: An Integrated Approach to Violence Prevention in Schools; (3) train 30 multidisciplinary school safety teams (e.g., school administrator, SRO) on Project Unite; (4) train 75 multidisciplinary school safety teams on the Colorado Threat Assessment and Management Protocol and case management software; and (5) develop and pilot Handle With Care notifications within Safe2Tell’s software platform with three school districts. CSPV will support the process evaluation for this project.
