School and education security from 247 Private Security covers K-12 public and private schools, colleges and universities, vocational schools, early childhood centers, after-school programs, and tutoring centers across Greater Los Angeles. Coverage is unarmed-default (armed presence is inappropriate in most child-facing educational environments), de-escalation-focused, and integrated with school administration, district security, and law enforcement.
