The NYPD is working to boost security measures at city schools following a visit by department brass to the site of the 2018 Parkland, Fla., mass shooting.

Inspector Kevin Taylor, head of the NYPD’s school safety division, told The Post several of his new initiatives were a direct result of his journey to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — “Parkland’s own Ground Zero” — where 14 students and three staffers were murdered by 19-year-old gunman Nikolas Cruz.

“I am tasked with the security of 1.1 million students – plus the faculty – to protect them from whatever is out there,” Taylor said following the trip that ran from Aug. 2 to Aug. 7.

“That means we can’t afford, in New York City, to ever get this wrong.”

The visit was particularly jarring for Taylor, who oversees the more than 4,000 school safety agents and scores of cops who secure the nation’s largest public school district.

“Everything was still the same – the blood is still there,” Taylor said, referring to one building that’s been preserved as a crime scene. “No kids – no one – should ever go through that.”

Among the moves by the NYPD ahead of the new school year are installing new security cameras and beefing up communication between police and the city Department of Education.

The department is also establishing a cop-run school safety command center in Queens Plaza to monitor the district’s 1,400 buildings around the clock — a plan which was already in the works prior to the trip.

Taylor, who took the trip with two other officers, had been invited to the school by a group of Parkland families – including relatives of 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who died during the Feb. 14, 2018 attack by Cruz that also wounded another 17 people.

Last year, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law in Alhadeff’s honor – dubbed “Alyssa’s Law” – that mandates school districts look into installing silent panic alarms that connect directly with law enforcement.

“I was privileged [to have] the families embracing me,” Taylor said. “To come down to Parkland … To walk those halls, to go to each classroom, to hear the parents. I have two kids, I can’t imagine if they couldn’t get help.”

Taylor said he returned from the taxpayer-funded tour intent on changing some of the city’s school security measures.

First, he said he wants to strengthen communication between the DOE and the police, including by creating an anonymous, student-only text tip line that Mayor Eric Adams has pushed for.

The new command center – slated for a fall opening – will also bolster the link between the two departments by handling everything related to the schools, Taylor said.

The 60-something officers who man it will be monitoring alerts, alarms, cameras and anything else that happens in the buildings, so that there won’t be “one incident that takes place that we don’t know about,” Taylor said.

That will likely be helpful in a district that seized 21 firearms during the 2021-22 school year and 15 during the 2022-23 term. It also pulled out almost 6,000 weapons, including tasers and knives, during the most recent school year, according to NYPD data.

Taylor also said he wants to install new cameras, and make sure those already in place are pointed in the right direction.

“We need them in the right location … not pointing at a tree,” the inspector said.

He called for the city to add about 300 more safety agents to schools. And he wants to make sure the DOE locks all the doors at every school to halt intruders.

“This should’ve probably been done a long time ago,” Taylor said.

He said this will help satisfy the mission given to him by Adams and Police Commissioner Edward Caban: Keep the kids safe.

On Tuesday, Caban and other police officials met with Schools Chancellor David Banks to discuss how to move forward.

Neither City Hall nor the DOE responded to requests for comment. But Taylor said the summit went well, and will lead to more high-level meetings.

“We all want to keep our kids safe. And bottom line: We are the best at it … NYPD is on the watch,” the inspector said.

“At the end of the day, we’re going to make sure schools are be safer than they ever were,” Taylor said. “We have to make sure school is a safe haven. That’s what keeps me up at night.”
