School Security
Armed and unarmed security programs designed for K-12 schools and educational campuses.
Overview
What Is School Security?
Vice Miami Global provides comprehensive security programs for private and charter schools, independent academies, and educational campuses across Miami-Dade and Broward County. School security requires a professional who can protect students and staff while maintaining the approachable, community-focused environment that schools require. VMG school security programs are built around three pillars: prevention, access control, and response. Prevention begins with a site-specific threat assessment and the development of an emergency action plan tailored to the school's layout, student population, and operational schedule. Access control programs establish single points of entry, visitor credentialing, and perimeter integrity during school hours. Response capability is delivered through trained armed or unarmed school security officers operating under ALERRT-aligned active threat protocols. VMG provides both armed school security officers (Florida Class G licensed) for campuses that have determined an armed presence is warranted, and professional unarmed officers for campuses that require a visible, professional deterrent without an armed component. All VMG school security programs include emergency action plan development, staff response role training, and coordination with local law enforcement for active threat scenario planning.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The decision between armed and unarmed school security depends on your campus threat assessment, community stakeholder preferences, and administrative policy. VMG provides both options and begins every school security engagement with a threat assessment and consultation — so the recommendation is based on your specific campus, not a default posture. Some campuses deploy a hybrid model: a single armed supervisor with unarmed officers at access control points.
Single point of entry is an access control protocol that channels all visitor and non-student access through one controlled entry point — typically the main office or a vestibule entry system. All visitors are credentialed, logged, and escorted before being allowed into the school interior. VMG officers manage the SPOE as part of the school security program.
Yes. Every VMG school security engagement includes the development of a site-specific emergency action plan covering lockdown, evacuation, shelter-in-place, and active threat response procedures. The plan is tailored to your school's physical layout, student population, and staff roles.
Yes. VMG school security officers operate in close coordination with school administration, office staff, and faculty. We brief all officers on the school's specific protocols and chain of command before deployment — so our officers integrate into the campus community rather than operating independently of it.
Yes. VMG provides event-specific security coverage for after-school athletic events, performances, graduation ceremonies, and special campus functions. Event security is available as a standalone service or as part of an ongoing school security program.
