The Averted School Violence Reporting System for law enforcement officers, school officials, and mental health professionals was modeled after the International Association of Fire Chief’s (IAFC) near miss reporting system. Initiated by the National Policing Institute in 2015, the database is now operated by Safe and Sound Schools. In 2013 the transfer, improvement in functionality and expansion of the Averted School Violence Database was made possible through Prevent 2 Protect, a Michigan Department of Education Pilot Project. Continued funding to maintain and expand the project is provided by the Motorola Solutions Foundation. The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) and Safe and Sound Schools’ national community of school safety practitioners support the important work of the project.
Founded by parents who lost children at Sandy Hook School, Safe and Sound is a national non-profit school safety advocacy and resource center that provides research based tools and support for crisis prevention, response, and recovery, helping to protect every school, every student, every day.
