students, and parents help create safe schools.

C Communities are connected, inclusive, and work to prevent bullying
A Asset-building is integrated into the school, family, and community
R Responsive decision-making is based on data

E Expectations are clearly communicated to students, staff, and parents
S Socio-emotional behavior skills are taught

Preparedness/Planning

Preparedness includes plans that schools develop to facilitate an effective response
when a crisis situation occurs.

This also includes planning for effective interventions with youth who demonstrate
behavioral difficulties, including training of staff, students, and parents in Early Warning
Signs of Violence: Getting Help for Troubled Children.

“The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is very
fortunate to have partnered with the Cherry Creek

School District and the four other law enforcement
agencies that work with CCSD in the development
of standard response protocols. When emergencies
occur, CCSD and law enforcement agencies will

be working together to ensure the best possible
response. In day-to-day operations, the Arapahoe
County Sheriff’s Office values our great relationship
with the Cherry Creek School District and adjacent

law enforcement agencies to provide for great public
safety in our community.”
