Emergency Management Consulting

Active Shooter Preparedness for Schools

Preparedness that brings the school, law enforcement, and parents to the same table.

Stakeholder collaboration, family reunification planning, and honest after-action review for educational institutions facing the threat of an active shooter.

A lockdown drill is not a plan.

Most schools run lockdown drills. Far fewer have a plan that law enforcement, fire, EMS, and emergency management have exercised together, and fewer still have a tested way to reunite students with parents afterward. A 2024 state audit found zero of 47 schools reviewed met every emergency planning standard.

High Street builds school preparedness with every stakeholder in the same room: the district, school resource officers, local law enforcement, fire and EMS, and emergency management. We write the reunification plan, exercise it, evaluate honestly, and set up a multi-year cycle so preparedness survives staff turnover.
