At Shergroup USA, ensuring student safety goes beyond basic monitoring; it requires training, proactive intervention, and a focus on diffusing situations with care and professionalism. Recently, our team demonstrated these values at a high school when an officer stepped in to protect a student involved in a physical altercation.
On October 30, 2024, a Shergroup officer was on duty at the high school, stationed at the front courtyard. Around 8:25 a.m., the officer observed a three-on-one altercation spilling from the hallway through an exit door and into his immediate vicinity. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the officer Hill quickly intervened, using de-escalation and open-hand techniques to create a safe distance between the involved students. When further action was needed to protect the student, he employed a lifting technique to safely move the student away from the group, preventing further harm.
After leading the student to safety, the officer ensured the student received immediate attention and care by escorting them to the security hub, where school staff was ready to assist. The student was then taken to the nurse’s office to await parental pick-up, providing a safe space for recovery after the incident.
By 9:15 a.m., the school resumed normal operations. This quick, hands-on response reflects Shergroup’s commitment to maintaining a calm and secure learning environment, prioritizing student welfare, and providing trained, experienced personnel equipped to handle unexpected events.
Our Approach to School Security: Shergroup USA’s school security services are built on rigorous training, immediate action protocols, and continuous communication with school staff. Each officer is trained in conflict resolution, de-escalation tactics, and emergency response to ensure the highest safety standards.
