Let us inspire fresh thinking with our Risk Mitigating Strategies for Professional Development Days and LEARNS Act School Security Assessments. Our goal is to encourage you to break free from traditional constraints and discover new, effective ways to address challenges and enhance security measures. By embracing an outside-the-box mindset, we can collaboratively develop strategies that are forward-thinking, adaptable, and tailored to meet the unique needs of your district.
We offer Professional Development Days for your Staff.
What does a Professional Development Day look like when we come to your campus?
Medical Training including First Aid, CPR, AED, Basic Trauma; Crisis Management Plan Evaluation for Natural and Man-made Disasters; Active Shooter Drills for Staff and Security; Force on Force; and a lot more. Choose a tab below for more information.
"Stop the Killing" embodies the crucial need to take decisive action to neutralize the threat and protect innocent lives. While CSSOs or SROs engage the shooter directly, others may work to deny access by barricading entrances to obstruct entry or usher individuals to safety outside the danger zone by means of various emergency egress routes, aligning with the principles of "run, hide, fight." This coordinated response strategy aims to minimize casualties and maximize protection in the face of imminent danger. We also discuss reunification because the aftermath of the event has to be dealt with as well.
Faculty members should demonstrate proficiency in fundamental life-saving techniques, including CPR, AED use, stop-the-bleed procedures, to help "Stop the Dying". Swift and effective application of these skills not only significantly enhances the chances of survival for those wounded in an attack but also enables effective assessment and prioritization of medical care based on the severity of injuries. Triage becomes a crucial component in managing multiple casualties, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to maximize the impact of life-saving interventions.
We test your school's crisis management plan by identifying its objectives for both man-made and natural disasters. We develop realistic scenarios to simulate potential emergencies, then test the procedures to ensure timely responses. We monitor decision-making processes then evaluate responses to assess the school's ability to deploy resources effectively. Coordination and communication among staff members is assessed. Post scenario, we debrief and gather feedback to identify areas for improvement. Finally, we can help update the plan and conduct regular training to enhance preparedness.
We offer LEARNS Act School Security Assessments.
