Bay Shore, NY | October 10, 2019: True Security Design LLC., leading school security consulting and training firm, was the recipient of the School Safety and Security award from Violence Intervention & Prevention Specialists (VIPS). The award is in recognition of True Security Design’s programs and training designed to save lives in schools. VIPS hosted their 2nd Annual “You Make the Difference” Community Service Awards Brunch on Sunday, October 6th where True Security Design was honored. The organization honored police officers, community members, businesses, associations, and youths who have made a difference in their communities by preventing violence from occurring and keeping children safe.
True Security Design specializes in conducting complete and thorough Threat Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (TVRAs) for schools, municipalities, and businesses. Led by Joseph Pangaro, Director of Training Services, a veteran police lieutenant and experienced school security director, the True Security Design team is uniquely qualified to find the gaps in a school’s security profile and then create a road map to mitigate any deficiencies found in a way that respects budgets and missions.
Joe Pangaro accepted the honor and stated, “The simple question asked and the goal of a TVRA, ‘Is your district ready to respond to a violent incident and survive?’ This question is at the essence of surviving the modern threats we all face. Whether it’s a school shooter, workplace violence, or lone wolf terror attack, preparation is the key to survival and it starts with asking the right questions. For many people the question can be answered in a straightforward manner – either you have prepared and trained your administration and staff and hardened your building’s physical security or you haven’t. The challenge is coming up with a long-term plan to use your resources in the most impactful way. At True Security Design we see huge growth in the security industry, especially in the area of school safety. The need is growing because the message is finally getting out that the ‘it will never happen here’ mentality is fading away and being replaced with a new phrase – ‘be aware and prepare’. Hope is not a tactic, we must be proactive and empower our schools to take security seriously and provide them with the tools they will need to survive a violent incident.”
