Tallahassee State College Police Department:
The TSC Police Department (TSCPD) will serve TCA as part of its campus-wide scope. The department is comprised of sworn law enforcement officers, non-sworn public safety officers, public safety communications officers, emergency management personnel, and administrative staff.
TCA’s School Resource Officer:
A dedicated School Resource Officer (SRO) from TSCPD will be on-site at the High School building from 7:30 a.m. - 2:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.
This officer will patrol the perimeter of the building to ensure that everyone has a legitimate reason for being inside and around the building.
In addition, the SRO will work alongside the administration to:
- Provide training to teachers and students
- Assist with required drills and emergency procedures
- Control traffic around the building during drop-off and pick-up
Our SRO will interact with students to let them see that law enforcement officers are approachable and are there to help them when needed. Outside of school supervision hours, TSCPD will patrol the TSC campus and will be ready to respond to any needs that may arise at the High School.
Visitor Aware:
Visitor Aware is our visitor management system. It will be used to screen everyone who enters our school in compliance with school safety legislation. We also utilize Visitor Aware as part of our Parent Reunification Plan.
FLDOE – Office of Safe Schools:
TSC has a relationship directly with the Office of Safe Schools at the Florida Department of Education. Working meetings, training, and monitoring visits have been established to ensure that TSC is in compliance with all federal and state regulations relating to K-12 school safety and security.
In addition, TSCPD, TSC, and TCA have worked together to develop all required safety plans for the school per statute. All TCA faculty and staff and select TSC staff have taken extensive safety and security training.
