In this SecurED segment, Mike Matranga and Mike Monsive discuss these challenges, while Mike Monsive, CEO of ASAP Security, offers insights on school security and law enforcement’s role.

Budgets primarily cover personnel costs, leaving little for technology, infrastructure, and equipment. Defunding calls worsen the situation, reducing resources during increased officer demand. This leads to fewer officers on the streets and hampers recruitment and compensation for new hires.
