The tools and resources provided in our training aim to give attendees a stronger understanding of the current social media world, the ability to proactively identify student safety concerns, and provide strategies for dealing with online situations as they arise. All aspects of school safety and threats to schools now involve a social media or online component and we need to be prepared.
I have been working in threat assessment with our schools since 2015, and this training has magnified my knowledge in the area of digital research, social media platforms, and the vital aspect of including the social media report for subjects of concern. The presenters had a wealth of information and were able to maintain an interactive and captive message throughout the day. Highly recommend!
Nancy Kelley, Collierville Schools
As a School Resource Officer in today’s society, students are more virtual and communicating digitally more frequently. To monitor threats against students and staff, being able to know what to look for in the digital world is important. The courses provided by SST allows that monitoring to occur. Thank you for the training you provide.
Ryan Schneider, Milton Police Department
I have participated in two SST training courses, and both have been phenomenal. The topics are relevant to everyone working in K-12 and higher education and law enforcement. The skills I learned are invaluable when it comes to using social media as an investigative tool. The hosts/trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and eager to help. I recommend SST trainings and look forward to taking more in the future.
Brittany Floyd, Eastern Illinois University
I feel that SST did a great job with the Digital Threat Assessment® class. The course material was very informative and well presented by the instructors. The information I learned from this class will definitely enable me to perform my investigative duties at a higher level.
Raymond Croze, Clearwater Police Department
The Digital Threat Assessment® training was one of the most timely, informative and professional meetings I have participated in for years. The presenter from Safer Schools Together was extremely knowledgeable and uniquely qualified, with thorough mastery of the content of today’s discussion. Attendees not only learned new skills, but also had the opportunity to practice the skills and share experiences to add to the robust discussion and application to real life decision making.
Susan Harding, Okaw Valley School District
The course was presented in a logical, and easy to understand format. The presenter kept my attention for the entire duration and was very well focused. I would highly recommend this course for all those involved in student safety!
Nick Georges, Technical Security Coordinator
As an administrator at an independent school, I believe it is incredibly important that we educate our kids on how to navigate the online world. With so many of our students communicating through social media, we want to give our kids the tools necessary to make safe choices, and to avoid putting themselves in compromising situations. Nick Chernoff’s presentation struck the perfect tone with our students, balancing a hopeful, student-centered approach, with the necessary messages surrounding the uglier sides of social media, such as sextortion and the risks of sharing inappropriate content. This presentation helped contribute to a positive school culture and was well received by students, faculty, and parents alike. I would highly recommend this presentation for any school.

Lynwood Unified School District has been working with Safer Schools Together (SST) for three years. The monthly worrisome reports we received from SST are a valuable and essential tool in keeping our Lynwood District community safe. I am continually impressed with their level of professional support and outstanding customer services. If you are in charge of security, safety, and/or law enforcement for your school campus community, SST is a valuable partner to have on your side.

Theresa Campbell is a wonderful resource and asset to School Districts. Her work is thorough, and her skills at connecting with students, staff and parents to determine the issues and identify solutions to problem behaviours are remarkable. Theresa ensures that those involved in the process feel heard, respected and confident that the outcome will be fair. I would recommend Theresa without hesitation.
