Active shooter incidents are on the rise, a 52% increase from 2020–2021. Sadly, many of these incidents occur in schools, targeting innocent and defenseless children. Our focus is to coordinate school security guards and campus security officers to prevent and intervene active shooter incidents at schools.
While on duty, the guards will focus on evidence-based best-practices: If the shooter is outside — keep them outside, prioritize lockdowns. If the shooter gets in — get everyone out, prioritize evacuation. In any case, speed, surprise and violence of action against the shooter has proven to be the best response.
Human trafficking is the business of stealing someone’s freedom for profit. In some situations, human traffickers trick, defraud or even physically force victims into their service. In others, the victims are threatened, lied to, assaulted, or otherwise manipulated into service, working under inhumane conditions.
Unfortunately, children account for over 25% of all the human trafficking victims worldwide, and two out of every three child victims are girls. The FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) statistics underscore the scale of missing persons cases across the United States.
Dealing with both of these challenges requires problem solvers who bring unique abilities and are willing to act. Project Guardian emerged out of a pursuit to make a difference through actions, and inspire change. We’re an organization driven by courageous ideas, bold actions, and backed by a strong network of professionals.
