Security Guards in Schools

Post by brazosriver »

To help secure our schools, is there any way a retired person, with a CHL, could volunteer to guard a school. I would think they would need additional training, such as the requirements for a armed security guard. But could this be done without a security firm to hold the license? Could a security firm be formed to hold the license and each individual hold personnel liability? I don't know about each of you , but I would rather have a 70 year old CHL'er in a wheel chair between my gran-child and a bad guy than a dozen Swat members, 10 min. away. No disrespect to the SWAT members.

This is a sticky wicket, first priority is letting us even walk into a school first (CHL)

Our local schools have a couple armed officers the patrol the campuses. Only one door is unlocked at the entrance and you have to get you DL scanned before entering.

I know it is sticky. That's why I mentioned getting an Armed Security guard License. But the license requires a security firm hold the license.

I wonder what the insurance alone would cost?

I personally wouldn't like the liability that would come with that. Not that I'm against defending our children, just think that it would be better for a LEO. Guess I'm lucky that one of the teacher's sons is a State boy. Seems to be at the high school a lot. Enough that most of the kids know him and stay out of trouble.
