In an age when school safety has become more paramount than ever, Knox is proud to announce its partnership with the
Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS), one of the country's leading coalitions that advocates for comprehensive K-12 school safety.
Knox has long been dedicated to improving emergency response through its advanced rapid access solutions, particularly the KnoxEntry for Schools system, which ensures that first responders can enter educational institutions swiftly and efficiently in emergencies, significantly improving response times and outcomes. Knox has been named specifically in pieces of legislation that mandate security boxes at K-12 campuses.
The partnership with PASS signifies Knox's commitment to adhering to best practices in school safety, as PASS has the country's most experienced and vetted experts across the education, public safety, and industry sectors on its advisory board and is the architect of the PASS Safety & Security Guidelines for K-12 Schools, the most comprehensive information on best practices specifically for securing school facilities. The Guidelines also include comprehensive safety planning and information on resource sharing among schools, law enforcement, emergency responders, and community leaders.
Stay tuned for upcoming initiatives and resources from Knox and PASS that will help transform school safety practices nationwide. Together, we can build a safer future for our children and communities.
