About Us
“Are our school district’s bus drivers trained and prepared to respond to the active threat?”
It’s a question I pondered as a School Resource Officer for a community in Northeast Ohio back in 2015. Regular conversations with bus drivers and observations of students on the bus reinforced my belief in the immediate need for a training program designed for bus drivers to respond to the active threat.
So, at Levine Security Solutions, the S.T.A.R.T. (School Transportation Active-Threat Response Training) program was created. The idea is simple. Our team of experts composed of active-duty and former police officers, social workers, mental health experts, United States military, and United States Secret Service personnel deliver relevant and current, best-practice material in classroom and scenario-based exercise settings.
Our multi-disciplinary team, many of them parents, are eager and ready to build up school bus drivers in your community. Please allow the S.T.A.R.T. program to make your community, your school district, and your school buses a safer place. - James R. Levine
