The primary function of a school system is to educate; however, the safety and security of personnel and facilities must be guaranteed. The author suggests that only way such a guarantee can be affected is by selecting a person who has the background ability to organize a system that will guarantee the safety and security of people and property. The particular approach will be guided by the size and problems being experienced by the individual school system. A qualified person with a sound program will not only help school administrators avoid frustrating and disruptive situations, but will also have funds that are being drained from budgets as a result of acts of vandalism.
