SPEAR is a program that designs and distributes school tactical evacuation plans. It is an effort between the community and police to make schools a safer place for children and staff. SPEAR safety plans prepare police, firefighters, paramedics, and school staff, for violent and hazardous events at or near a school. When attending a school for an emergency, SPEAR may be used for the following reasons:
- Active Shooter
- Aggressive Behaviours
- Bomb threat
- Hazardous threat
- Fire
SPEAR is an ongoing project that will continue to reach new levels of safety.
