Why Campus Security Matters in Today’s World
Nothing could be more important than ensuring the safety of our children, and parents need to know their kids will be safe while they are at school. Today’s educational facilities are facing complex security threats, including drugs, illicit substances, weapons, cyber threats, bullying, and hate speech.
Research from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that 67% of public schools recorded at least one violent incident in 2021-22 (NECS, 2024). While private school information is not readily available, 44% of K-12 parents nationwide fear for their children's physical safety at school, and 20% say their children have expressed worry about school safety (Brenan, 2022). Common concerns include unauthorized access to the school, students bringing weapons on campus, and bullying from other students.
Arizona schools are facing a security crisis amid today’s evolving threat landscape. According to the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center (ACTIC), the group received over 130 school threats in three weeks in September 2024 (Sikora, 2024). The majority of these calls reported shots being fired or the presence of weapons on campus. Over 40% of all security threats the bureau received during the month were targeted at schools.
The state’s Auditor General reports that AZ schools are receiving more threats via social media. Most educational opportunity programs audited met fewer than half of the minimum security standards required, which could impact their ability to respond to emergencies (Auditor General, 2024).
