We use proven analysis and behavioral science techniques to keep people and property safe from harm allowing our clients to focus on their success without fear. We have successfully worked with schools, universities, businesses and all types of government agencies from rural Native Alaskan Villages to the urban Metropolitan Washington DC Council of Governments.

This depth and breadth of experience allows us to provide our clients with solutions tailored to their unique situations.
According Mike Kennedy staff writer for American School & University Magazine there are 10 important trends in school design. #7 Is Security, particularly the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, CPTED. The article goes on to say;The Indiana School Safety Specialist’s Academy, a division of the Indiana Department of Education, published a report in 2014 that identified design features that help boost school security.
Are you building or renovating a school? Standing Stone can work with the District and the Design Team to insure the security for the school meets current "best" practices. Unfortunately many new and renovated schools continue to "design in" security and safety problems. This often leads to costly retrofits after the school is built. Our security experts can make sure this doesn't happen in you school.
In 2015, Standing Stone is offering Emergency Operations Plan reviews and reorganization and follow on support to school districts in Pennsylvania. Standing Stone will review and reorganize your current EOP so that it meets State (PEMA) and Federal (FEMA) safe schools planning requirements. Our consultants will identify items from the existing plan for inclusion in the updated EOP, recommend areas that need improvement and then review withe Plan with the District.
Standing Stone consultant Michael Biking has developed Active Shooter training for Small Rural Schools. This training was developed specifically for active shooter incidents where only one or two officers will be initially responding.
