I wanted to write to you to express my appreciation and gratitude for your commitment to student safety and training for teachers. Although I know that there are numerous other professional development opportunities that would be of extreme importance with regards to curriculum and instruction, your decisions to focus on student and staff safety is greatly appreciated. The experiences that I have had with the training with Armoured One were all very positive. As a teacher, I feel empowered and feel as though in a horrible situation, I would have a plan. As a mother with children in the district, I feel that you have made their safety a priority and I know that all teachers see themselves as the first responders and protectors and would fight to save the lives of our children

As Chairman of Public Safety for County Legislature over the last 4 years, father of four kids in the district (three recently graduated) and the husband of an employee, thank you for the investments of time and resources to improve everyone’s safety. It’s an unfortunate and deeply troubling issue, but I can’t think of anything more worthwhile. While everyone in the country debates ideas to solve the problem, it’s great to see your team doing things to make a difference in the here and now—that’s what leaders do.

As the challenge of school safety becomes more important than ever, I can only say positive things about the highly professional and empowering services of Armoured One. Their recent presentations at Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES offered historical context on the issue of school violence as well as practical, pro-active advice to help our staff become more informed and better prepared in the event of a school emergency. The professionals at Armoured One demonstrated their true concern for students and staff and shared their wealth of expertise in a clear and sensitive way. I highly recommend them for any educational setting.

It was needed and timely! One of the most useful professional workshops in 25+ years!
