Safety and Security

Latin Beauty Academy implements assessments for safety and security to provide educators with an independent appraisal of safety measures already in place, and recommendations for enhancing those measures with improvements at the facility. Administration uses our security assessments in multiple ways:

• Risk management tool for reducing crime and violence threats, risks, and potential liability
• School-community relations tool to demonstrate a commitment to security.

School safety assessments are addressed to the student’s concerns and needs and designed to help educators be proactive, not reactive, with school safety. Safety and Security Services are important for our school security assessments to reflect both the positive safety measures already in place, as well as the areas for continued planning and improvement.
