“Ken
Trump's book
outlines
what
he
has
demonstrated
throughout
his
career:
How
schools
can
collaborate
with
law
enforcement,
emergency
management,
and
mental
health
professionals
for
better
crisis
planning.
I
believe
many
of
the
incidents
of
school
crises
could
have
been,
and
should
have
been,
prevented.
The
information
in
this
landmark
book
will
reduce
school
violence
and
save
lives.
I
recommend
it
with
the
highest
possible
praise.”
"Definitely a must-have desk reference for school principals. Ken offers need-to-know, practical school safety and emergency preparedness strategies not taught in “Principalship 101”!
"Ken is the #1 authority on school safety issues surrounding the educational community."
"Ken Trump is the preeminent national authority on school safety and emergency preparedness planning, but he also thinks like a school administrator. In this book, Ken offers a comprehensive list of practical solutions to a myriad of issues that impact school personnel’s attempts to improve school safety and emergency preparedness. This book does not belong on a bookshelf. It belongs on the desk of every school administrator and teacher for immediate and frequent access."
"There is no concern more chilling to school board members and superintendents than any issue related to school safety. This book uniquely captures current best practices in school safety and security that Ken Trump helped our school district and community implement over an 18-month period. The comprehensive consideration of school safety from the perspective of the leading national expert make this book an indispensable reference for school leaders at all levels."
"Proactive School Security and Emergency Preparedness Planningis a priceless resource, especially for administrators expected to create and maintain safe learning environments. No other single volume provides a more comprehensive, relevant, and accurate guide for planning and practice."
"Ken Trump has established himself as a leading advocate for school safety and security. This book raises the bar to a new level. This comprehensive, thoughtful and practical work will be used for years to come by those of us who are responsible for crisis planning and management within our school districts."
"Finally, a comprehensive and common sense approach to school safety with practical nuts and bolts answers. Ken's book is a must read for every school safety leader in this country regardless of their level of experience or expertise. It is the kind of book one will use as a reference book time and time again."
"Every educator responsible for the safety and well being of students need to learn from this practical and comprehensive resource from Ken Trump. Ken’s experience provides the reader with the critical steps to take in preventing, managing, and dealing with the aftermath of a crisis. Much of his advice deals with building relationships with school, community, and government officials - a key element in crisis communications that is often overlooked until it is too late. Superintendents need to put this book on their principals’ reading list and discuss changes for their school districts."
“Ken Trump is a tremendously valuable resource in terms of security planning and best practices in keeping our students and faculty safe. His expertise and exceptionally thoughtful grasp of the way schools work make him an outstanding consultant for both private and public schools, and I recommend his book most enthusiastically.”
"The book addresses the history of school safety, the complex and controversial realities of today, and considerations for the future. It is simply the best investment you can make to help keep your kids safe and healthy so that they can learn more and live better."
"The emphasis on collecting data and working with community leaders and parents fills this book with practical assessments of common problems and solutions."
InProactive School Security and Emergency Preparedness Planning, Ken Trump has done a masterful job of providing an extensive and practical description of what schools need to do to help their students, staff, and campuses be safe, secure, and prepared for a wide variety of emergencies. An international expert in this area, Trump addresses such critical topics as school safety planning and leadership, school security strategies and procedures, and emergency readiness and planning. But he does this by providing the step-by-step check-lists that schools need to identify the “early warning signals” that can prevent many threats from becoming crises, and the “intervention and response” protocols that resolve and debrief these crises if they do occur. This is an essential guide for any district or school that wants to comprehensively evaluate its prevention and response system in the multifaceted areas related to school safety. The knowledge and experience reflected in this book will be relevant and should be heeded for many years to come.
"This
book
is
invaluable
to
education
and
safety
leaders
working
daily
on
the
front-lines
to
provide
the
safest,
most
secure
learning
environment
possible
in
their
schools.
It
is
the
next
best
thing
to
having
Kenneth
Trump
working
in
your
school
district."

schools
are
safe

environments

are

had
the
advantage
of
working
directly
with
Ken
and
had
immediate
access
to
his
wealth
of
knowledge
on
school
safety.
Having

"Ken
Trump
has written
the
perfect
follow-up
to
his
last
book,
which
dealt
with
how
schools
can
prevent
and
manage
school
crises.
Both
books
should
be
mandatory
reading
for
principals
and
superintendents.
The
reader
may
expect
honest,
straightforward,
and
useful
information
and
concepts."
