Related Recommendations (1)
Each Orange County school district should arrange for local law enforcement to do an annual safety inspection of each school. The written safety checklist should include an audit of the integrity of site boundaries and a review of safety plans and policies. This annual safety audit should commence with the 2023-24 school year by October 1, 2023, and annually thereafter. Response: This recommendation has been implemented. Prior to the start of the 2022 / 2023 school year, Huntington Beach Police Department SROs completed school safety inspections of all 32 public school campuses. This included updating the police department's maps of each campus, and making them available in a digital format accessible to all officers.
