DeAndre Davis, Director of Safety and Security

Objective: To enhance the current safety mandates of a safe, secure, learning and working environment for Saint Louis Public Schools through technology, training and teamwork.

Goal: To equip safety officers with the tools and knowledge to best serve staff and students in an effort to reduce school related incidents.  To provide adequate and efficient service where all staff and students feel safe and vested in the process. 

We have School-Based, Mobile Officers, Supervisors and Command Security Staff to monitor inside and outside of our schools. Our Officers, Sergeants and Command Staff are licensed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The Command Staff, Sergeants and Mobile Officers are armed with needed equipment. They patrol all schools and building sites in radio equipped marked/unmarked school safety vehicles.

I am thrilled to be leading such an admirable group of officers who come to work daily and give it their all. Over the years our department has faced many challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic. As we prepare to face the unpredictable new normal, we are committed to providing a safe environment for the students, staff and families of SLPS. As Director of Safety and Security, my goal is to develop a strong team and be proactive in our approach to safety and security.
