After school events and activities are beneficial to communities in so many ways, but how can we ensure the safety of students, staff, and families who are on campus outside of normal school hours?
The answer is OSCR360, a powerful and effective school safety tool designed to help with training, planning, preparation and review – both during and after the typical school day.
OSCR360 is a multi-use tool for schools – designed to help train for, plan for, and prepare for emergency events. From reunification and active shooter events to natural disasters (and everything in between), OSCR360 aims to provide the entire school community with effective plans and preparation to stay safe during emergencies.
L-Tron recently had the opportunity to sit down with the Director of School Safety and Security at a private school in NY to hear their thoughts on OSCR360. It has been about a year since the school acquired and started using the OSCR360 System to organize and train on their school safety plans.
Hear their feedback and see the benefits of using OSCR360 for school safety, reunification planning, tabletop exercises and more…
L-Tron has returned from the 2024 ALERRT Training Conference, which took place earlier this month. This one-of-a-kind conference is held annually to prepare first responders, emergency management teams, community leaders, schools, and hospitals to respond to emergency events utilizing an integrated training approach.
Emergency planning tabletop exercises are a cooperative group activity, designed to utilize the thoughts and ideas of many to test, discuss, problem-solve and improve upon a school safety plan.
OSCR360 is a helpful tool schools can utilize during their tabletop exercises. The OSCR360 System is designed to create, organize, present and review safety plans. The system acts as a powerful visual reference. See more…
The L-Tron team will attend the 2024 ALERRT Emergency Response Conference in San Marcos, TX from December 2nd – December 5th. The annual event will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Marcos Hotel Conference Center. As the only conference of its kind in the United States, ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) focuses on providing tools and education for an integrated response to active shooter and attack events.
In July of 2024, New York State implemented NYCRR Section 155.17 which addresses school safety. This document covers dozens of potential scenarios and outlines the responsibilities of New York school districts in the development of district-wide school safety plans and building level emergency response plans.
The OSCR360 system (which fluidly combines imagery, mapping and documentation) was built as a multi-purpose tool to assist districts in creating, organizing and sharing their school safety plans. This helps districts to remain in compliance with Section 155.17. OSCR360 improves the processes of creating safety plans, training for unexpected incidents and responding to school emergencies.
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) has been adopted by hundreds of school districts and emergency response agencies nationwide who are working together to keep students and staff safe at school. The SRP provides a framework of standardized language and actions to follow during every type of event, from minor threats to large scale emergencies.

During the SRP Action: lockdown, individual rooms are to be secured, and students are to stay quiet and hidden.
The Lockdown action is typically followed by the directive “Locks. Lights. Out of Sight.”
Lockdowns are issued when student and staff safety is threatened inside of the school building. Students and staff are to lock or barricade themselves within the room and hide quietly until help arrives to safely release them.
OSCR360 can be implemented into your school’s emergency plans. See how the system can assist with planning and training for a school lockdown.
