Podcasts about school safety

What should we be teaching law enforcement? Jeff Wenninger is a nationally recognized law enforcement expert with 33 years of experience, most notably as a lieutenant with the LAPD. He has dedicated his career to understanding and improving police practices, specializing in police use of force, crowd management and control, school and campus safety, and security protection measures. He just released a new book called “On Thin Ice: An LAPD Veteran's Journey to Reimagine Policing”. As the Founder & CEO of Law Enforcement Consultants, LLC, he provides clear and practical expert testimony and consulting services. He uses his extensive experience to help legal professionals, cities, schools, and more navigate the complexities of law enforcement in today's challenging environment. Jeff's goal is to boost public trust and safety by offering straightforward, actionable advice and ensuring objectivity in every assessment. In episode 600 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out the unexpected way that Jeff decided to go into law enforcement, what police and college students often misunderstand about each other, why abuse of power is so dangerous, how his upbringing in a multiracial family shaped his views on justice and equity, what moments challenged his integrity as an officer, what does "reimagine policing" actually mean, what we should be teaching law enforcement, lessons that law enforcement should learn from past tragedy on campuses, how fraternities and sororities can build better relationships with law enforcement, and Jeff's concerns in terms of policing that is done by the National Guard.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Dr Saths Cooper, Clinical Psychologist and Department of Basic Education Director for communication and research , Terrence Khala following the tragic stabbing of a matric pupil during a violent altercation at a school in Humansdorp, Eastern Cape. Six teenagers have been arrested, and the incident has reignited urgent questions about safety in our schools. Why are learning environments becoming spaces of fear and violence? Are prevention strategies, mental health support, and disciplinary systems failing our youth — or is there a deeper social crisis at play? Dr Cooper helps unpack the psychological, social, and systemic roots of the issue as we search not just for answers, but for real solutions to keep our children safe. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Tom Horne asking for $180 million dollars. Why?

A high-profile, public art project planned for Broad Ripple received zoning approval this week. The state of Indiana will deliver more than 27 million dollars to nearly 500 schools this year through its school safety grant program. July saw the largest number of passengers flying out of Indy ever recorded at the airport. Hundreds rallied at the Indiana Statehouse last month against a push to redraw congressional districts — while many Republican lawmakers were in Washington, meeting with the Trump administration about the same plan.

Since the tragic school shooting in Minnesota, the nation is once again left grappling with the same painful questions: how do we prevent tragedies like this from happening again? In the aftermath, both media outlets and political leaders have reignited the debate over possible solutions. As has been the case after nearly every mass shooting, the issue of gun control has quickly taken center stage. Some argue for stricter background checks, limitations on assault-style weapons, and tighter restrictions on gun purchases, while others maintain that the focus should be on mental health resources, school security, and community intervention programs. The discussion reflects a deeply divided nation—one that is searching for answers but often struggles to agree on what those answers should look like. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The Minneapolis Catholic school tragedy that happened yesterday is raising safety concerns for schools nationwide. There have been multiple shootings by transgender individuals over the last few years. Ken interviews Owen Henry, NJ State Senator. Owen and Ken break down how school funding is being mismanaged in New Jersey's school districts. School districts in New Jersey must focus on ensuring that all students are proficient in speaking English. However, New Jersey's Democratic politicians have financially invested heavily in offshore windmill projects, which has exacerbated the state's energy crisis, rather than using the funds for school projects and developing a plan to reduce energy costs. Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The Catholic school shooter, Robin Westman, could have had mental issues stemming from being transgender that motivated him to cause yesterday's massacre. Ken interviews Dr. Norman Fried, Trauma and Bereavement Specialist. One of the most significant factors that creates trauma is a lack of safety. Dr. Fried breaks down his technique of psychologically calming down children who have Trauma due to a tragic event in their lives, like yesterday's shooting in Minneapolis. Mental illness is a serious topic that needs to be discussed in children and adults.

On Thursday's show: In light of the school shooting in Minneapolis, we get a refresher on the safety requirements the Texas Legislature established in 2023 and how much of those requirements are paid for by the funding passed during the most recent legislative session.And we learn about efforts at the capitol to replace the STAAR test.Also this hour: We learn why the premiums for some health insurance plans in Texas are expected to rise a lot next year.Then, on this month's edition of The Bigger Picture: The horror film Weapons features a scenario that would frighten any parent. We talk about the film and discuss real world concerns that stick in some parents' minds.And we reflect on the punk rock scene in Texas, including here in Houston, which is documented in the new book, Someday All the Adults Will Die! The Birth of Texas Punk by Pat Blashill, who will reminisce about the Houston punk rock scene at an event this Sunday, Aug. 31, from 4-6 p.m. at Basket Books and Art.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about school safety and school physicals as a new school year is about to begin. As students prepare for the new school year, parents are being reminded not to overlook important health essentials. Along with backpacks, new shoes, and school supplies, making sure your child's physical exams and vaccines are current is vital. Schools often require up-to-date immunizations and sports physicals, ensuring a healthy start and participation in activities. Don't wait until the last minute—schedule appointments now to avoid last-minute rushes. Road safety is very important to keep people, especially children, safe while crossing the road or riding a bike or scooter. For a full checklist of school health requirements, visit the OSF Healthcare website for guidance and resources to keep your student on track for a safe and successful return to class.
