Safewalk is assessment software for school safety and security consultants. Send the school a survey before you arrive, answer your questions on an iPad during the walkthrough, and mark up your photos. Safewalk scores it, drafts the writing and builds one polished report. You review it and sign it off.
Are all exterior doors closed and locked during school hours?
The walkthrough takes a morning. Writing it up takes another full day.
That's the part Safewalk takes off your plate. Your expertise goes into the visit and the findings, not into formatting slides.
No more exporting to another program to draw arrows. Upload photos straight from your phone or iPad and mark them up where they're stored.
Side entrance, east wing. Door wedged open during the school day, 38 ft from visitor parking.
The slowest part of a report is the writing. Safewalk drafts it from what you recorded, and nothing reaches the report until you've reviewed it.
Pick the answers you want covered, and Safewalk drafts the section using your notes and your library of approved best practices and recommendations. Accept it, edit it or start again.
Classroom doors lock from the inside and are numbered inside and out. However, the east wing side door was found wedged open during the school day. Consistent with best practice, exterior doors should remain closed and locked…
Ask for a description of any photo and get a draft caption and narrative. Compare it with the photo, then use it, change it or ignore it.
Exterior side entrance with a single steel door held open by a wedge. Visitor parking is visible to the right. A security camera is mounted above the entrance.
Gym side door wedged open, 10:40 AM. Recommend door alarms and staff reminders.
Safewalk scores with your rules, the same way every time. Click any score to see exactly which answers produced it. "Not applicable" answers don't drag a section down. For criteria-based assessments, you see each level and criterion marked met or not met. If a score needs adjusting, the assessor proposes it with a reason and an administrator approves it. Every change stays in the history.
We load your question bank, answer choices and scoring rules, so you keep your method instead of adopting someone else's checklist.
Run your physical security assessment and a state-required one, such as Pennsylvania's PCCD criteria, together. Answers and photos that apply to both can be reused instead of entered twice.
District-wide answers can be copied from one school to the next. Each school stays editable, and you confirm every copy.
When your questions are updated, assessments already underway keep the version they started with. Old reports never change.
Your approved best practices and recommendations are written once and used in every draft, so reports stay consistent.
Assessors work on the schools assigned to them. Administrators approve score changes and sign final reports.
A list of a school's weak points is sensitive. Safewalk is built so it only reaches the people who should see it.
We'll walk you through a full assessment, from the first question to the finished PDF, and talk through loading your own questions and report design. It takes 30 minutes.
