The man tapped to help draft a new safety plan for Denver Public Schools says one of the most important relationships a school district can have is with its police department. Murphy Robinson spoke exclusively to CBS News Colorado's Shaun Boyd about why DPS hired him and what his charge is.

He has developed and implemented safety plans for three cities and thousands of schools around the country and owns his own security company. But what you may not know about Robinson is that he was the victim of an active shooter in his own workplace six years ago, something that he says changed his life.
