Gerald Irwin
Director of School Resources and Policy
Gerald Irwin is a 27-year veteran of law enforcement including the Coral Springs Police Department, and Liberty University. Gerald currently serves as the Chief of Police for Liberty University in Lynchburg VA. While a Captain in Coral Springs on February 14, 2018, he helped direct the Department’s response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School (Parkland) shooting and was tasked with leading the department through the aftermath of this horrific event. Captain Irwin identified policies, training, and best practices for organizations to implement before, during, and after critical incidents with an emphasis on prevention and liability mitigation. He has presented these policies and practices throughout the country to law enforcement organizations, colleges and universities, and emergency management associations. Now as the Chief of Police at LIberty University, Chief Irwin teams with LionHeart to provide firsthand experience in preparing for active shooter incidents, creating sound policies, and providing S-A-F-E School training that saves lives while also reducing liability.
