School Safety/Security Coordinator Hired In Bristol Twp.

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA —The Bristol Township School District has hired a new safety and security coordinator as the new school year gets set to begin.

Luke Miller will work with the administrative team to implement best practices regarding school safety and ensure that the district complies with all mandates about school safety and security in this vital Act 93 leadership role.

Miller will also supervise the district’s security team and implement drills, training, and procedures that help make the schools safe, positive, and supportive learning environments.

“There is nothing more important to us than the safety and security of our students and staff,” Assistant Superintendent Chris Polzer stated. “We are very happy to welcome Mr. Miller to our team and excited to see what he will bring to the district."

Miller, a Bristol Township resident with students in the school system, brings extensive experience.

He was with the Princeton University Department of Public Safety for 17 years, rising to various leadership roles and giving him a background in all aspects of educational institution safety and security.

“We were impressed with Mr. Miller’s qualifications and his experiences with schools and students,” Polzer added.

The U.S. Marine Corps veteran possesses a variety of security credentials and certifications, school officials said.

Miller also has experience as an educator and a coach, which makes him uniquely qualified for the position.

“We truly believe that anyone who works with our students, in our schools, is an educator,” Polzer stated. “Mr. Miller certainly embodied those qualities and expectations.”

Miller will be involved in all aspects of the district’s security initiatives, including event operations planning, and emergency response, and as a liaison to the police.

“I am appreciative of this opportunity and looking forward to working with the staff, getting to know the students, and making sure the schools are safe and secure places to learn," Miller said.
