Why Campus Security Must Start Outside the Walls

Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Traditional school security strategies often focus on what happens inside the building, including lockdown procedures, interior cameras and response protocols. But by the time a threat reaches the hallway, the opportunity to prevent harm has already narrowed.

In this webinar, security experts Wayne Black and Kirk Evans will explore why a proactive, perimeter-first approach is essential for today’s K-12 and higher education environments. Drawing on their work with schools across the country, including initiatives like Safe Learning 101, they will share practical insights into how campuses can identify risks earlier, strengthen visibility outside the building and design layered security strategies that prioritize prevention without adding unnecessary complexity. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to shift from reactive response to proactive protection.
