We had the opportunity to chat with Jason to learn more about him, his background, and what his role as a Safety Specialist means to him.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>Hi, Jason! Thank you for making time to meet with us. Introduce yourself, tell us about your background, and what your hobbies are.<\/h3>\n<p>Hi! Thank you for having me. My name is Jason Veselka. I\u2019m a Safety Specialist here at Lightspeed. I have 25 years of experience in law enforcement. The last several years I\u2018ve worked as a detective with assignments in the intelligence unit working as a special deputy U.S. Marshal assigned of the U.S. Marshals Task Force, and I worked with the FBI Violent Crimes Against Children Task Force. I\u2019ve investigated threats of violence against schools, some of which were traced out of the country. I\u2019m from Texas \u2014 I grew up in the Austin area, and I currently live in the Dallas area. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my son, usually near water swimming or fishing. I also enjoy hiking and jogging with my golden retriever and spending time outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>How does Lightspeed Alert\u2122 work to save lives, and what are the key benefits for districts?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightspeedsystems.com\/products\/lightspeed-alert\/\">Lightspeed Alert<\/a> monitors online content for schools, and it looks for signs of individuals in crisis or incidents of violence by just kind of monitoring the students and monitoring the web activity at the schools. Lightspeed benefits schools by providing a team of dedicated specialists to receive and investigate the alerts 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that our work impacts not only the lives of students, but also the families and the communities that they live in. I believe we are saving and changing lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><cite>JASON VESELKA, LIGHTSPEED SAFETY SPECIALIST<\/cite><\/div>\n<p>Some districts will assign that duty as an assignment to teachers or coaches, who are already over-tasked \u2014 and not to say that they\u2019re not capable, but they don\u2019t have the training and they have other things on their plate as well. For a Lightspeed Student Safety Specialist, this is our only task. We\u2019re trained, and we go through continuous training, to stay on top of the alerts and know what to look for.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>What is a typical day for you? Are there any surprising trends or alerts that you&#8217;ve seen most often?<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the alerts that we see have been in the self-harm category and that seems to be a trending nationwide. From the data we\u2019re receiving, self-harm appears to be trending to a younger age group. There\u2019s an alarming rise in self-harm among younger female students. It\u2019s not something we want to see increase, and our work as Safety Specialists is helping to prevent these incidents. There was an alert that I recall where a student was talking to another student in a different state. That student was posting pictures online where she was severely cutting herself. The student that I received that alert from, was trying to talk that her into seeking help and to stop harming herself. Although the student hurting herself was not a student at the district we partner with, this was a clear sign of self-harm from a child.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>Can you share an alert that was most impactful to you, and how you were able to help?<\/h3>\n<p>An alert came through for a student who was answering a question in an online document for a project. The question was: \u201cWhat is something in your life that you need to change your self-talk to, \u2018not yet\u2019?\u201d His answer was: \u201cI won\u2019t kill myself yet.\u201d That was alarming and made me take a step back for a moment. I deemed it as an alert that needed intervention and escalated it to the district safety personnel. A couple of days later they reached out, thanked me, and let me know that they were able to get that student the help and resources they needed.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>What do you enjoy most about working at Lightspeed and being a Safety Specialist?<\/h3>\n<p>I enjoy knowing that each day\u2019s kind of different\u2014that we make a difference in the lives of students and faculty at schools. I know that our work impacts not only the lives of students, but also the families and the communities that they live in. I believe we are saving and changing lives. It\u2019s a great feeling to be able to intervene and get them the help that they need and to avert an act of violence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightspeedsystems.com\/solutions\/safety-wellness\/school-safety-specialists\/\"><strong>Meet More of the Lightspeed Safety Specialist Team<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ebook-texas-scope-act-19817\">\n<figure><a href=\"\/ebook\/texas-scope-act\/\"> <picture><!-- [if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1.png.webp\" \/><source type=\"image\/png\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1.png\" \/><!-- [if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1.png\" alt=\"Texas Scope Act eBook cover\" width=\"2385\" height=\"1620\" data-aspectratio=\"1.47222222222\" data-parent-container=\".component__image__inner\" data-parent-fit=\"cover\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1.png\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1-300x204.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1-600x408.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1-1200x815.png 1200w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Texas-SCOPE-Guide-Comp-1.png 2385w\" \/> <\/picture> <\/a><\/figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<p>What Texas Schools Need to Know About the SCOPE Act<\/h3>\n<p>Download this easy-to-follow School District Compliance Guide to quickly get up to speed on the requirements and the Lightspeed solutions that simplify your life and enable full compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"--buttons-count: 1;\">\n<div><a href=\"\/ebook\/texas-scope-act\/\"><\/p>\n<p>Read More<\/p>\n<p><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><br \/>\n<\/i><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Jason As a highly trained Lightspeed Safety Specialist Jason Veselka takes his role very seriously.
