HOOVER, Ala. — June 23, 2015 — More than four dozen providers of school security and policing solutions will exhibit their products at the upcoming National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) 25th annual School Safety Conference, which takes place July 5-10, 2015 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida. The Florida Association of School Resource Officers (FASRO) will host the conference.
“It’s always great to see the lively discussions that take place when school policing officials learn about the latest and most important products from the school safety industry. The opportunity to see what’s new and talk to experts from around the country is a valuable experience for our conference attendees,” said NASRO executive director Mo Canady.
Examples of products that will be presented include:
- Systems to help schools monitor students’ social media activity.
- An Internet safety curriculum that school resource officers can provide to students and parents.
- Emergency barricade systems to easily and quickly secure classroom doors.
- Other building security products such as panic alarms, visitor management systems and x-ray inspection systems.
Last year, 800 people attended the annual NASRO conference, including school resource officers (SROs – law enforcement officers special trained for police work on school campuses) and other law enforcement officers, as well as school security and safety officials, school board members, administrators and others interested in school safety.
The conference offers attendees an opportunity to receive 30 hours of training; complete on-site NASRO training courses at no additional charge; and interact with SROs, school administrators, sheriffs and chiefs of police from throughout the country and world. Available training includes NASRO’s Basic SRO Course, ideal for law enforcement officers who are newly assigned to work in schools.
