[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2101294/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Coffee with Kelly, we tackle one of the most dangerous assumptions any school or community can make: believing that violence only happens somewhere else. Using recent tragedies, including shootings in the Philippines and at a California library, we explore why preparedness—not fear—is the foundation of effective school and community safety. We also discuss how everyday community events held on school campuses can expose hidden security gaps, and why emergency plans are only effective when people are trained to put them into action. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize that school safety and community safety are inseparable, and that protecting one requires protecting the other. Join us as we challenge the "it won't happen here" mindset and explain why changing that perspective may be the single most important step toward preventing the next tragedy.
