Secure Education Consultants has been outstanding since we began our work with them in Fall 2019. They are professional and knowledgeable and have a clear understanding of the nuances of student safety. The security audits were extremely thorough and the findings and recommendations were personalized to each location. SEC has provided ongoing support to our district leadership, our Board of Education and our staff with customized professional development options, comprehensive planning tools and quality feedback on our next steps. We feel fortunate to have had the expertise of SEC as a guide for our planning and implementation.

To whom it may concern,

This letter serves as a recommendation for services provided by Secure Education Consultants (SEC). Acero Schools engaged in a partnership with SEC from May through August of 2018 to provide school based security assessments, consultation on current security practices, and provide Critical Incident Response training to all staff. Through the expertise of their highly trained consultant team, SEC provided Acero schools with a high level assessment of the safety of each of its campuses. Consultants spent between two to three hours visiting each facility and meeting with school leadership to discuss their individual safety concerns. School leadership had very positive feedback regarding their time with SEC and were grateful for the insight they provided. Consultants also took great care in listening to concerns as well as explaining security items to principals and other members of leadership. The Critical Incident Response training was a great method for empowering staff to feel they have some level of control in a crisis situation. Faculty and staff had positive feedback regarding the training and commented on the benefits this training had to offer. As a result of our engagement with SEC, Acero schools feels it is better informed and equipped with best practices to manage a crisis situation. Our school level employees feel empowered to take action in a crisis situation. One of the key takeaways from this engagement was that school level employees are our first responders in any given crisis. For us, the investment in their preparedness was well worth it.

We hired Jason and SEC to do a security assessment for our company -- this included two active shooter presentations (one at each of our Grand Rapids locations). After the presentation, Jason and the team shared their findings and recommendations to help us improve on any security vulnerabilities.

Jason's active shooter presentation was full of great content and advice that was easy to understand and left our teams feeling empowered to handle an active shooter situation in both the office or in public. Jason's presentation style is professional and knowledgeable, with just the right amount of humor to relax everyone around a sensitive subject.

The team was very thorough and professional -- we received great reviews from our employees about the experience. We highly recommend them to any organization!
