Welcome to the Clark County School District’s Department of School Safety and Emergency Management (SSEM). Our dedicated team collaborates with district stakeholders, law enforcement partners, and the community to ensure a safe learning environment for all students, staff, and visitors.

Our mission is to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergency incidents through an using an all hazards approach that prioritizes Prevention, Response, and Recovery.

In Prevention, we focus on assessing and maintaining the safety and security of our school facilities. Through educating about appropriate preventative measures, assisting in creating a positive school climate through Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), we aim to prevent any hazards that could disrupt our district’s welcoming learning environment.

In Response, our priority is to stabilize emergencies swiftly and efficiently. We activate the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), facilitate immediate protective actions, coordinate with first responders, and maintain regular communication with our community to ensure the safety of lives and property.

In Recovery, we assist affected schools in restoring the learning environment and well-being of those impacted by an event or emergency. This includes securing emergency funding, and conducting after-action reviews to constantly improve our strategies.
