Injury, Violence, and Illness Prevention

School Law Enforcement Partnership (SLEP)

The goal of the Marin County School/Law Enforcement Partnership, a collaboration of schools, law enforcement and community agencies, is to encourage and support a countywide effort to keep Marin schools and communities as safe and healthy environments for all students and families. We are grateful to our partners in this important endeavor. Click here for the 2025-2026 SLEP Meeting Schedule.

Gun Safety

Gun safety and gun violence prevention are crucial issues that affect not only individuals but also communities and society as a whole. Youth are particularly vulnerable to the impact of gun violence, which can have lasting effects on their mental health, educational outcomes, and future prospects. MCOE promotes gun safety education, responsible gun ownership and storage practices, and the implementation of evidence-based programs that address the root causes of gun violence. By doing so, we can create a safer and healthier environment for our youth to thrive and reach their full potential.

Visit the Marin Gun Safety website for additional information and resources, and our Trauma Informed Resources page for best practices and tips for talking to youth about gun violence.

Human Trafficking and Exploitation Prevention

AB 1227 - Human Trafficking Prevention Education and Training Act

This law, approved on October 7, 2017, requires that each school district train county leadership, administrators and educators to identify children that have been or may be at risk of being exploited and how to proceed when potential victims are identified. It also requires that schools teach California’s school age population how to avoid becoming victims of exploitation at least once in junior high school or middle school, and at least once in high school.

SB 1104 - Pupil Safety: Human Trafficking Prevention Resources

This law, which went into effect January 1, 2020, requires that schools serving students grades 6 through 12 inclusive identify the most appropriate methods of informing parents and guardians of human trafficking prevention resources.

Protocols and Plans

Threat Determination Protocol

California Assembly Bill 1747 and the California Education Code Section 32281(a) require all Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to develop and maintain a Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP). Creating a safe learning environment for students is at the center of a CSSP, and one of the required elements is preparedness for violence on campus. Although we hope violence on school campuses never occurs, the Marin County School Threat Determination Protocol manual supports each of our Marin schools in their preparedness and risk reduction efforts.

The purpose of the Marin County School Threat Determination Protocol is to reduce the risk of targeted violence at Marin County schools. The comprehensive protocol incorporates evidence-based practices, current research, and consultation with law enforcement partners, mental health providers and school district staff.

Compliance / Audit Information

Opioid Overdose Prevention Protocol (SB-10)

SB-10 requires schools serving students in grades 7 to 12 to include a protocol within their comprehensive school safety plans that addresses how to respond “in the event a pupil is suffering or is reasonably believed to be suffering from an opioid overdose”.

The following toolkit is made available to Marin County schools to help ensure compliance: Opioid Overdose Prevention Protocols Toolkit

IMPORTANT: It is important that each district review the toolkit in detail and, based upon their Board policies and protocols, individualize the toolkit to be consistent with their district’s governance.
