SECURITY AT THE BROOK HILL SCHOOL
At Brook Hill, student safety is our top priority. We believe that education and spiritual growth begin with a safe and secure environment, and The Brook Hill School Board and Head of School are firmly committed to providing a safe and secure environment.
For its students and faculty, this is accomplished by using the latest security technology and training.
BOBBY HERRINGTON
DIRECTOR OF SECURITY & CAMPUS SAFETY
Bobby is a licensed Level IV Security Officer for the state of Texas and takes the safety of students very seriously.
THE BROOK HILL SCHOOL HAS THE FOLLOWING SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE:
24/7 VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
We utilize a complex camera system 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. This includes two live license plate readers that record every vehicle that enters and exits campus
ON-CAMPUS SECURITY OFFICERS
Brook Hill has two armed security officers on campus every school day and an additional security officer every evening, seven days a week.
ARMED SCHOOL PERSONNEL
Brook Hill has an Emergency Response Team made up of school staff that are armed. These school personnel are trained, tested, and certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety Security Division. They train quarterly with our police officers and re-qualify every semester.
“Most armed and violent attacks at schools were stopped by means other than law enforcement interventions.” – United States Secret Service and DOE
RAPTOR VISITOR SYSTEM
Raptor is an identification system that requires all visitors, contractors, workers, and delivery drivers to submit their driver’s licenses to be scanned before printing an ID for their visit. The system is linked with the national database for sexual offenders. All visitors must be checked in before gaining admittance to school grounds.
LOCKED DOORS & ID'S
Our door-locking system is the foundation of keeping our students safe. All doors are locked at all times, and faculty, staff, and students can only enter buildings by swiping their ID card.
ACTIVE DEFENDER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Brook Hill uses the Active Defender emergency notification system for all of our staff to connect school administration, faculty, staff, law enforcement, and fire departments. This is a push-button app for an instance notice.
