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…
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…
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.
The SRP Action: Secure is followed by the directive “Get inside. Lock outside doors.”
When the secure directive is issued, it indicates that there is a potential danger outside of the school building. The intention is to safeguard students within the confines of the locked school. All students and staff are to go inside, and the exterior doors of the school building are locked. There are typically few, if any, changes to the normal happenings within the school building during this type of temporary threat.

The Standard Response Protocol originated in 2009 with a simple, yet clear, mission: Keep schools safe.
The SRP focuses on providing uniformity and consistency for responding to any – and every – type of hazardous scenario. As part of a school district’s broader emergency plan, the SRP promotes the use of both common language and common expectations when teaching and training students, staff, and first responders on emergency protocols.

When it comes to creating your school emergency response plan, it is essential that everyone is crystal clear about what the plans mean and how to implement the plan in any given emergency scenario.
