Introduction

Greetings: This blog is intended to be a lighthouse for anyone interested in preventing school shootings, whether you be a parent, cop, faculty member, school administrator, or student. My background is a thirty-year career in public safety, and I hold a master’s degree in criminal justice. More importantly, I was a single parent of two children whose lives, like so many others, have been touched by tragedy and marred by dangers not of their making. Parent to parent there was nothing I wouldn’t do for those boys or their classmates, and I know you feel the same for your children. Retired cop to parent: My commitment is to provide you practical information based on my experience, academic literature, and best current practice. Feel free to comment here or contact me at david@shieldwallconsulting.com. Be safe and well, David L. Williams
