Key differences exist between K-12 and university campus security that security leaders must understand. Doyle Syling, Chief of Safety and Security at Alamogordo Public Schools, has developed a dedicated security division responsible for large campus areas. Jill Renihan, an experienced safety leader, emphasizes the importance of recognizing factors such as campus layout, demographics, and program complexity that differentiate K-12 from higher education security protocols. Effective strategies for school safety require a thorough comprehension of these differences in the educational context.
Syling was instrumental in establishing the district's own security division, which has now expanded to a department of 30 people. He is responsible for securing 13 campuses in the district, amounting to more than 1.2 million square feet.
Renihan states, "There are several key differences between K-12 and higher education security, including campus layout, demographics, and program complexity."
