San Julian NHS Strengthens School Safety Through PNP-Led Security Enhancement Orientation
As part of its continuing commitment to campus safety, San Julian National High School (SJNHS) welcomed personnel from the Malasiqui Municipal Police Station for a discussion on School Security Enhancement Measures. The activity was initiated by PLTCOL Francisco A. Sawadan, Jr., Chief of Police of Malasiqui Police Station, together with members of the Malasiqui PNP, to reinforce safety initiatives and emergency preparedness within the school.
The discussion emphasized the importance of strong collaboration among the school, law enforcement agencies, parents, and barangay officials in maintaining a secure and conducive learning environment for all learners.
Among the key preventive measures presented were:
-Immediate inspection of students' school bags to help prevent prohibited or dangerous items from entering the campus.
-Security orientations for Parents and Teachers Associations (PTAs) to strengthen awareness of school safety protocols and encourage active stakeholder participation.
-Enhanced coordination with barangay officials to ensure a unified approach in addressing school security concerns.
-Guidance and counseling interventions to support learners' behavioral, emotional, and psychosocial well-being.
-Community-based family lectures for parents and guardians focusing on responsible parenting, youth development, anti-drug awareness, anti-bullying, and violence prevention, while strengthening the partnership among families, schools, and local stakeholders.
-Promotion of security awareness and preparedness by encouraging vigilance and shared responsibility in preventing potential threats and safeguarding every learner.
Participants were also introduced to the internationally recognized "Avoid, Deny, Defend" protocol, which outlines the three essential steps for increasing survival during an indoor active shooting incident. The orientation emphasized the importance of preparedness, situational awareness, and appropriate emergency response, equipping school personnel with practical knowledge that can help protect lives during critical situations.
Guided by the advocacy "Safe School, Secure Learners, Strong Communities," the activity reaffirmed the shared commitment of the Philippine National Police and San Julian National High School to ensuring a culture of safety, vigilance, and resilience. Through strengthened partnerships and proactive security initiatives, the school continues to uphold its mission of providing a safe, secure, and supportive environment where every learner can thrive.
