Irvine K.O.P.S. Meeting - Understanding Emergency Response for Preschools

K.O.P.S. – Keeping Our Preschools Safe is a collaborative safety and preparedness session designed specifically for preschool directors and those responsible for overseeing safety and security at early childhood programs.

In this interactive 90-minute meeting, participants will gain a behind-the-scenes understanding of how local emergency response works—from the moment a 911 call is placed through on-scene response and post-incident follow-up. Representatives from emergency dispatch, law enforcement, fire/EMS, and investigative units will each share their unique role, what they need from preschool staff during an emergency, and how strong communication and preparation can make a meaningful difference.

Rather than focusing on worst-case scenarios, this session emphasizes realistic situations, practical decision-making, and partnership. The goal is to help preschool leaders feel more confident, informed, and prepared to support first responders and their school communities—before, during, and after an emergency.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Who should attend:
Preschool directors, administrators, and staff responsible for safety and security planning.

Date & Time:
March 4, 2026 | 10:00–11:30 a.m.
