Meet Anthony

Anthony Escobar | Risk Control Director

I retired from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in June 2017 and joined KSL in July 2017. I worked as an officer for the CHP in San Jose and in the Central Valley for just shy of 30 years. After retirement, I realized I still had a passion and drive to serve my community. Once I started working with KSL and became familiar with our curriculum, I realized I had found a great match to continue contributing to my community. My training and experience as a law enforcement officer while working for the CHP prepared me well for the work we do at KSL training events.

I have two daughters who were in high school when I started at KSL and I quickly realized helping educators prepare for emergencies was an excellent and very needed and necessary service.

We trained the staff at the school district where my kids attended, and when my youngest was a senior in high school, I got that call one day. Well, it was a text from my daughter. She said there was a shooter on campus. The campus locked down quickly and efficiently and nobody was physically hurt. It ended up being a hoax. An unknown student stole a walkie talkie and yelled, "Shooter on campus! Shooter on campus!" into the radio. So the entire town was terrified and traumatized for about 3 hours until it was discovered it was a hoax. I, too, was terrified for my daughter and all her classmates and teachers. During those moments, I wished EVERY educator everywhere had gone through our training, and I realized I wanted to teach every educator everywhere how to prepare for emergencies and especially how to lock down the classroom. I look forward to working with you.
