S1 Ep. 27 Everything is Bigger in Texas Scaling School Safety with Dr. Kathy Martinez-Prather

In this episode of The Changing Face of School Security, host Paul Timm interviews Dr. Kathy Martinez-Prather, the director of the Texas School Safety Center.  Established in 1999 following the Columbine tragedy, the Texas School Safety Center serves as the central hub for school safety in the state, providing free training, research and technical assistance to districts. A major focus of the center is moving from reactive measures to preventative ones. Texas mandates behavioral threat assessment teams on every campus, and the center has trained over 64,000 school personnel using models based on the National Threat Assessment Center and Secret Service guidelines.  More episode highlights include a “parent toolkit” which helps parents navigate legislation and reporting, the evolution of security technology as a complementary tool and more!

S1 Ep. 25 Beyond the Door: How Glass Shapes School Security, and the Codes that Bind Them

While a properly locked door may be at the forefront of the conversations surrounding school safety solutions, glass plays a significant role in the foundations of security.  Though it may seem intuitive, not all applications demand the same type of glass. In this episode, Devin Bowman of Technical Glass Products (TGP) and AD Systems covers different types of glass used in schools, including annealed, tempered, wired, laminated, and acrylic. Tempered and laminated glass are more commonly used in schools today.  More discussions include building codes and standards outlining the appropriate glass products for school safety and security, technology-based evolutions to commonly used solutions, and the importance of collaboration between the glass industry, architects, administrators, and first responders to make informed decisions about school security measures.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
