Recommendation on LinkedIn
I have had the great fortune of communicating with Dr. Bayne since 2023 and observing his work on multi agency collaboration in emergency preparedness. His experience and insights reflect those of a scholar practitioner who values research and best practices while implementing them with practicality and meaningful impact. Dr. Bayne appreciates that the best school safety and security is often less visible or even invisible, but often more meaningful and effective in advancing school safety goals. I look forward to continued communications and collaboration with Dr. Bayne.
