No other single volume provides a more comprehensive, relevant, and accurate guide for planning and practice.</em>--Theodore J. Kowalski, Professor & the Kuntz Family Chair in Educational Administration (2/15/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"Ken Trump′s book outlines what he has demonstrated throughout his career: How schools can collaborate with law enforcement, emergency management, and mental health professionals for better crisis planning. I believe many of the incidents of school crises could have been, and should have been, prevented. The information in this landmark book will reduce school violence and save lives. I recommend it with the highest possible praise."</em>--Scott Poland, Associate Professor and Coordinator of Suicide and Violence Prevention (11/9/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Every educator responsible for the safety and well being of students need to learn from this practical and comprehensive resource from Ken Trump. Ken's experience provides the reader with the critical steps to take in preventing, managing, and dealing with the aftermath of a crisis. Much of his advice deals with building relationships with school, community, and government officials - a key element in crisis communications that is often overlooked until it is too late. Superintendents need to put this book on their principals' reading list and discuss changes for their school districts.</em>--Rich Bagin, Executive Director (3/16/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Finally, a comprehensive and common sense approach to school safety with practical nuts and bolts answers. Ken′s book is a must read for every school safety leader in this country regardless of their level of experience or expertise. It is the kind of book one will use as a reference book time and time again.</em>--Chuck Hibbert, Coordinator of Safety and Transportation Services (3/11/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Ken is the #1 authority on school safety issues surrounding the educational community.</em>--Matthew McDevitt, Board Member (1/20/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Ken Trump has established himself as a leading advocate for school safety and security. This book raises the bar to a new level. This comprehensive, thoughtful and practical work will be used for years to come by those of us who are responsible for crisis planning and management within our school districts.</em>--Linda Speer Graham, Crisis Coordinator (2/22/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>The book addresses the history of school safety, the complex and controversial realities of today, and considerations for the future. It is simply the best investment you can make to help keep your kids safe and healthy so that they can learn more and live better.</em>--Dr. Stephen Sroka, President (5/25/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>The emphasis on collecting data and working with community leaders and parents fills this book with practical assessments of common problems and solutions.</em>--James A. Cox, Editor in Chief (11/21/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>Definitely a must-have desk reference for school principals. Ken offers need-to-know, practical school safety and emergency preparedness strategies not taught in "Principalship 101"!</em></p><p></p><b><b></b></b> --Asia Jones, Executive Director for Student Support Services (1/20/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>Ken Trump has written the perfect follow-up to his last book, which dealt with how schools can prevent and manage school crises. Both books should be mandatory reading for principals and superintendents. The reader may expect honest, straightforward, and useful information and concepts.</em></p>--Jack Martin, retired Supervisor of Security and Chief of Police (3/11/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>Ken Trump is the preeminent national authority on school safety and emergency preparedness planning, but he also thinks like a school administrator. In this book, Ken offers a comprehensive list of practical solutions to a myriad of issues that impact school personnel's attempts to improve school safety and emergency preparedness. This book does not belong on a bookshelf. It belongs on the desk of every school administrator and teacher for immediate and frequent access.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em></em></p>--John Hutton, Superintendent (1/21/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>There is no concern more chilling to school board members and superintendents than any issue related to school safety. This book uniquely captures current best practices in school safety and security that Ken Trump helped our school district and community implement over an 18-month period. The comprehensive consideration of school safety from the perspective of the leading national expert make this book an indispensable reference for school leaders at all levels.</em></p><p></p>--Tom Evert, retired superintendent and Amy Van Deuren, former school board member (2/8/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in ensuring that our schools are safe learning environments and that they are prepared to deal with any unexpected crises. The author is a highly experienced and respected expert in school safety and security, with decades of practical experience in schools throughout the country.</em></p>--C. Ronald Huff, Professor of Criminology, Law and Society (1/31/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>We had the advantage of working directly with Ken and had immediate access to his wealth of knowledge on school safety. Having a book by him as a resource would be the next best thing.</em></p>--Karen Schulte, Superintendent (3/11/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>This book is invaluable to education and safety leaders working daily on the front-lines to provide the safest, most secure learning environment possible in their schools. It is the next best thing to having Kenneth Trump working in your school district.</p>--John Weicker, Director of Security (1/18/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Ken Trump is a tremendously valuable resource in terms of security planning and best practices in keeping our students and faculty safe. His expertise and exceptionally thoughtful grasp of the way schools work make him an outstanding consultant for both private and public schools, and I recommend his book most enthusiastically." <p></p>--William Christ, Head of School (4/11/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>In <em>Proactive School Security and Emergency Preparedness Planning</em>, Ken Trump has done a masterful job of providing an extensive and practical description of what schools need to do to help their students, staff, and campuses be safe, secure, and prepared for a wide variety of emergencies. An international expert in this area, Trump addresses such critical topics as school safety planning and leadership, school security strategies and procedures, and emergency readiness and planning. But he does this by providing the step-by-step check-lists that schools need to identify the "early warning signals" that can prevent many threats from becoming crises, and the "intervention and response" protocols that resolve and debrief these crises if they do occur. This is an essential guide for any district or school that wants to comprehensively evaluate its prevention and response system in the multifaceted areas related to school safety. The knowledge and experience reflected in this book will be relevant and should be heeded for many years to come.--Howie Knoff, President<br>
