Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In an exclusive interview with the Voice Newspapers, the NYPD School Safety Division, under the leadership of Inspector Tracy Mulet, detailed their comprehensive preparations for the new school year. Inspector Mulet, head of the division, shared insights about the extensive measures being taken to ensure the safety and well-being of students across New York City’s 1,400 public school buildings, which serve over 1.1 million students.

Inspector Mulet emphasized that the School Safety Division comprises nearly 4,000 School Safety Agents who are thoroughly trained to secure school environments. “Our agents undergo a rigorous 20-week training program that focuses not only on security but also on conflict resolution, anti-bullying strategies, and mental health awareness,” Mulet explained. This training is designed to prepare agents to act as mentors and counselors, fostering a safe and supportive environment for students, teachers, and the broader school community.

The division includes several community-oriented programs that aim to engage and support students beyond school. One such initiative is the Explorers program, which introduces young people aged 14 to 20 to various aspects of law enforcement careers, civics, and cultivates police and youth relationships. “This program is not just about preparing future police officers,” said Mulet. “It’s about imparting valuable life skills and civic responsibilities, encouraging participants to pursue diverse career paths, from law to teaching.”

School Safety Agents work throughout the summer providing security for schools’ summer food programs, Summer Rising, and other summer programs run by community-based organizations. “We don’t take a break for the summer,” Mulet noted. “Our agents are always working to ensure schools remain safe havens, even outside of regular school hours.” The division also organized a city-wide book bag giveaway, providing essential school supplies to students across the city, further demonstrating their commitment to supporting New York City’s youth.

This year, the division is implementing “Safe Corridors,” which focuses on enhancing security in the areas surrounding schools, particularly in routes heavily traveled by students. “We recognize that student safety extends beyond the school gates,” Mulet explained. “The Safe Corridors program increases visibility and patrols in these areas to ensure students have safe passage to and from school.” This initiative is part of a broader strategy to create a secure environment not only within schools but also in the communities they serve.

Inspector Mulet also addressed the importance of clear communication and transparency with parents and the community. She encouraged parents to engage with the division’s programs, such as the upcoming wig-making workshop designed to build teamwork and self-esteem among students. “We are always looking for ways to involve the community in our efforts to support and protect our students,” she stated.

As the new school year begins, the NYPD School Safety Division remains committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all students. The division’s efforts extend beyond traditional security measures, incorporating community engagement and support programs that foster trust and build relationships within the school community. “Our agents are more than just security personnel,” Mulet concluded. “They are an integral part of the school community, dedicated to the well-being of students and ready to help them thrive in a safe environment.”

By focusing on both security and community involvement, the NYPD School Safety Division aims to create a holistic approach to student safety that supports educational success and personal development. As the school year unfolds, the division will continue to adapt and enhance its strategies to meet the evolving needs of New York City’s diverse school communities.
