School Security in Orlando: Local Market Overview

Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) is the fourth-largest school district in Florida and one of the ten largest in the United States, enrolling more than 220,000 students across over 200 schools from Apopka and Winter Garden to Hunter's Creek and East Orlando. OCPS has dramatically expanded its district safety infrastructure since the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shootings, including investing in mental health counselors and security technology — yet many campuses still benefit from contracted supplemental security staffing. The University of Central Florida (UCF) in East Orlando is the largest university by enrollment in the United States with more than 70,000 students, creating a massive campus security footprint. Rollins College in Winter Park, Full Sail University in Winter Park, and Valencia College campuses across the metro round out the higher education landscape. Calvis connects Orlando-area schools and universities with licensed, background-checked security guards experienced in large-campus operations and high-attendance event security.

Florida's school security environment has been transformed by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, which mandates guardian programs, threat assessment teams, and enhanced physical security. OCPS operates one of Florida's most extensive school security programs, but contracted guards remain essential for event coverage, athletic tournaments, and supplemental campus patrol. UCF's massive enrollment generates some of the highest security staffing demands of any single university campus in the country, particularly during football season at FBC Mortgage Stadium, homecoming, and commencement ceremonies.

Orange County Public Schools enrolls over 220,000 students — making it the fourth-largest district in Florida — while the University of Central Florida, located nearby in East Orlando, is the largest university by enrollment in the entire United States with over 70,000 students.

Service Coverage in Orlando Metro Area

Areas We Cover

East Orlando / UCF Area
UCF's main campus requires extensive security coverage: FBC Mortgage Stadium football games draw 45,000+ fans, the CFE Arena hosts major events, and a sprawling residential community surrounds academic buildings. Campus patrol, parking monitoring, and event staffing are year-round needs.
Apopka / Northwest Orange County
Apopka High School and nearby OCPS campuses serve a growing community with a high school student population requiring game-night security, afterschool program coverage, and graduation ceremony staffing at the Kia Center downtown.
Kissimmee / Osceola County
While technically Osceola County Schools, Kissimmee's proximity to South Orlando and shared metro area means many families and institutions use Orlando-area security providers. Gateway High and Osceola High events frequently draw large crowds requiring supplemental staffing.
Winter Park / Rollins College
Rollins College's beautiful lakeside campus in Winter Park requires professional, low-key security at graduation ceremonies, alumni events, and culturally significant functions. The adjacent Park Avenue corridor adds pedestrian security considerations during large events.
South Orlando / Hunter's Creek
Newer OCPS elementary and middle school campuses in South Orlando's master-planned communities require access control during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup, as well as coverage for evening school board events and community meetings at school facilities.

Common Questions About School Security in Orlando

Do your Orlando school security guards meet Florida's post-Marjory Stoneman Douglas Act requirements?

Yes. All Calvis guards assigned to Florida school environments are vetted against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) criminal history database and sex offender registry. While the MSD Act primarily governs district guardian programs, Calvis's vetting standards align with FDLE contractor requirements, ensuring every guard deployed to an OCPS or private school campus meets Florida's enhanced safety standards.

Can Calvis provide security for UCF football games and graduation ceremonies at the Kia Center?

Calvis regularly staffs large university events including UCF football at FBC Mortgage Stadium, basketball at CFE Arena, and commencement ceremonies held at the Kia Center in downtown Orlando. Our event security teams coordinate with UCF's campus safety office and Orange County Sheriff's Office to ensure seamless, crowd-appropriate coverage.

Does Calvis work with OCPS schools for recurring daily security or only one-time events?

Calvis serves both needs. Many OCPS schools use Calvis for recurring daily supplemental security during high-traffic periods like morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. Others book through Calvis specifically for athletic playoff games, graduation ceremonies, and Title I family engagement nights. Monthly plans and per-event bookings are both available.
