School Investigations

Security Assessments/Penetration Assessments

AMRIC Associates Ltd. has a proven record of performing high quality Security/Penetration Assessments for many school districts statewide utilizing our highly trained and experienced investigators. Our assessments will cover everything from initial consultations, field reviews, follow-up consultations and professionally written reports with recommendations.  Recent tragic news events have placed a great deal of responsibility on every school district nationwide to ensure the safety and security of all students and personnel within the confines of a building.

Student Residency Investigations

All school districts have the responsibility to ensure that each student who attends school in the district actually resides in the district, assuming no payment of tuition.  AMRIC Associates Ltd. has performed hundreds of video surveillance operations on suspected violators of this policy, and has worked very closely with each school administrator. Our research and experience has determined that more than half of all allegations of misconduct prove to be true. Although each case is unique in and of itself, the proper investigative steps can usually result in a final disposition of the matter. Of course the NYS Education Department has final decision in all disputed matters.

Employee Disciplinary Investigations

Although most school districts perform the necessary due diligence during the hiring phase of prospective employees, the occasional dishonest employee may still “get through”.  AMRIC Associates Ltd. has uncovered a multitude of misbehaving employees, to include criminal activity, abuse of time, and employee harassment, just to name a few. In order to properly discipline an employee in accordance with NYS Education law and union involvement, one would require a thorough and complete examination of the “alleged matter of violation”.

Our current staff consists of former School Resource Officers (SRO) and NYSP School Liaison Officers that have a complete understanding of the needs of each school administration.
