The audits are designed to identify physical security concerns, and identify and evaluate any patterns of student safety concerns. SROs, in collaboration with school administrators, may conduct school inspection walkthroughs and shall participate in other school safety audit mandates including school crisis and emergency management, and response planning and preparation.

These matters should be considered administrative in nature and when addressed by school administrators, may prevent a future police action.
