THE WHY
​
One spring afternoon, I was sorting out a heavy day of discipline as an assistant principal at a local high school. I received an emotional phone call from my middle-school daughter who was in the middle of a lockdown at her school- due to a man with a gun on campus. She was very nervous, hiding under a table. Her next few words chilled me to the bone, "Dad, the teacher doesn't know what to do and was running around crying, then she left..."

ABOUT
THE WHAT​
​
Making command decisions during a crisis is not easy and if you re not ready for it, the results can be devastating! My mission is to educate you on how to minimize the threat and maximize the safety for every student and staff member on your campus. Serving my country as a United States Marine, I gained valuable and extensive experience as a team leader in a Special Operations Unit. I combine that experience with over 22 years as an educator in at-risk schools and communities as a teacher and principal.
We live in uncertain times and school shootings are on the rise. Therefore, I’m fueled by my commitment to excellence in safeguarding campuses, period.

Comments from Clients and
Co-workers:
"I knew we were going to be safe when I saw him moving toward the crisis while everyone else was running away from it."​
J.R., Elementary School Parent​
"Mr. Silva knows how to mobilize a team of security personnel to ensure that events are safe and the school is secure at all times. He has garnered the respect of our security team due to his diligence and his vigilance. I can say without hesitation that we all felt that the campus was a safe place to work and learn under his watch."
A.B., High School Principal,
"He brings unique experience from his military background, truly professional and training unlike we have ever seen!"
K.D., High School Teacher
"He pushed us beyond any training we had ever experienced and tested us in drills that were far beyond lockdown!"
C.B., High School Campus Security
"The man has a very unique skill set that combines tactical operations and the educational system. He then used that knowledge to teach staff and build on areas that we needed to improve upon.
J.K., High School Security Officer II
When we would watch videos of student fights to see what happened, who was involved, etc., he would also be watching how we responded in keeping a safe campus!"
