Supporting School and Community Safety

We Are the Jeffco DeAngelis Foundation, We Are the Difference!

Mission: Supporting school and community safety through experienced-based training focused on prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery while maintaining a positive climate and culture.

Guiding principles:

We believe prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery are the most important steps in achieving more favorable outcomes for school and community safety. As a result, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art training for all aspects of school and community safety.

Budget constraints should never present a barrier to receiving comprehensive instruction in best safety and security practices; therefore, we provide our programs and support free of charge or low cost to the best of our ability. To do so, we are structured as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and are reliant upon the receipt of grants and donations.

About the DeAngelis Center:

The Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety was created to support law enforcement and school safety training and tactics for mass casualty tragedies. As the district of Columbine High School and Deer Creek Middle School, Jeffco Schools knows firsthand the importance of preparedness and response to critical events. The Center is a place where law enforcement and school safety officials can have the difficult conversations, test tactics, and share lessons learned; both failures and successes. It is the opportunity for realistic training in a school environment.

The DeAngelis Center, for more than 50 years, was Martensen elementary school in Wheat Ridge Colorado; a place of education for thousands of students. Renamed the Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety for our retired Columbine High School Principal in April of 2017, the DeAngelis Center is still a place of education. The students of today are first responders that include law enforcement and fire departments, school safety and victim advocates. From patrol and K9 to school resource officers and SWAT, bomb squads and rescue task force members and crime scene investigators all train at the Center.

In March of 2019, the DeAngelis Center introduced state of the art video, audio, scent and interactive active shooter simulator technology designed to enhance the realistic training experience.

Jeffco Schools and the Jeffco DeAngelis Foundation provide the Center for first responder agencies and school safety departments as a way of saying thank you for all the support to our school district every day and during our darkest hours.
