  3. Indiana School Safety Specialist Academy • What is a School Safety Specialist? • Not a School Resource Officer • School Safety Specialist Academy • Known nationally • Funded, no cost to participants • Basic Training (350 new participants) • Advanced Training (900 current participants) • Regional Training (average 100 participants) • School Safety Reviews

  4. Closing the Gaps:Violent Threats to Safety • Internal Threats • External Threats

  5. Closing the Gaps:Internal Threats Secret Service/USDOE study • In 81% of cases, at least one other person had information that the attacker was planning the school attack- implication • 78% exhibited a history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts prior to attack – implication • 71% of attackers felt persecuted, bullied, or threatened - implication

  6. Closing the Gaps:Internal Threats • Pairing sanctions with intervention and services (not zero tolerance) • Suspension/Expulsion alone is not an answer • School Climate • Comprehensive emergency preparedness plans, training, drills • School Resource Officers

  7. Closing the Gaps: External Threats • Access Control • Visitor Management • School Resource Officers • Comprehensive emergency preparedness plans, training, drills

  8. Visitor Management • Identification or key exchange • Do we look at ID? Keep it? • Fluorescent lanyards • Panic buttons • How may I help you?

  9. Plan, Train, Drill….repeat • Training to time, convenience, relevance • Online training, videos • Basic and Advanced Academies

  10. Top Reasons For Plan Failure • Denial (violence prep vs. fire prep) • Relying only on templates • Plan not developed with help from response officials (Illinois Law) • Poor formatting/indexing • Inadequate distribution, training, testing

  11. What To Prepare For: • Fire • Bomb threats • Utility failures • Severe weather • Hazardous materials • Weapons violence • Threats/Hit lists DURING/AFTER SCHOOL ON/OFF SCHOOL GROUNDS

  12. Lockdown • Quick announcement, repeated twice • Tone (P.A. test in rooms) • Have a hard/soft lockdown to empower • Anyone can pull fire alarm, why not lockdown? • large font guidance by phone • Can your classroom phones access PA to announce lockdown?

  13. Lockdown • Lockdown Failures • Codes • Communication • Focus on Active Shooter • Timing…biggest problem with lockdown is NOT calling lockdown (*up to 70% when gun not fired)

  14. Lockdown • Quick peek in hallway (if safe) to pull in kids; watch their hands/waistband/body language • Call to security or police if you see something • Know your Role • Does anyone monitor your cameras?

  15. Emergency Codes and Procedures • Consistent in all facilities • Staff should have procedures readily available • Substitute teachers?

  16. Lockdown continued • What to do when police arrive: • If the police enter your classroom get on the ground with your hands visible – On your stomach is the best position because it makes you a smaller target and it also allows police to move quickly over the top of you • If you receive an order from a police officer it may seem gruff and rude but they are also under an extreme amount of stress – follow the order quickly and quietly – • Uniformed/plain clothes/tactical

  17. Lockdown continued • What to do when police arrive: • Their mission is to eliminate the threat • Hands open/do not pull out cell phones • If in hallway, leave in the direction from which they came

  18. Family Reunification • Establish reunification areas/partnerships • MOU/keys • Do not pre-announce locations • Communications • Documentation/Accountability Beech Grove

  19. Family Reunification • Mobile Office • Crisis kits • Rolling luggage • Contents • Vests/Identifiers

  20. Family Reunification • Student release forms • Access to student management system • Thumbdrive • Paper copies?

  38. Definition of a Mass Casualty Any incident in which emergency medical resources are overwhelmed by the number and severity of casualties.

  39. Examples Building Collapse Bus Collision Tornado or Earthquake Bombing Natural Disaster or Terrorist Attack

  40. Can and Will Happen School staff may be only adults on site for some time period Triage is the first step to manage event

  41. Triage During an event, triage will be done multiple times and will become more sophisticated as new resources arrive Initial Triage – done by school personnel based on knowledge and skill until trained personnel arrive on scene

  42. Purpose of Triage To quickly (less than a minute) identify victims who have immediate life-threatening injuries AND who have the best chance of survival To ensure these persons are treated and transported first To help determine number and type of additional resources, equipment and transport vehicles needed to manage the crisis

  43. Triage Basics Must match local EMS Indiana uses START

  44. START Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment

  45. How does Triage Begin? • EMS - Quick Assessment looking at three items • RESPIRATIONS • PERFUSION • MENTAL STATUS

  46. Categories GREEN – Minor YELLOW – Delayed RED – Immediate BLACK - Deceased

  47. GREEN - Minor Minor Injuries Walking Wounded Volunteers can assist and monitor

  48. YELLOW - Delayed Still injured – but treatment can wait Passed all three assessments (lung, cardiac, brain) May be vast difference between patients – broken leg vs. multiple internal injuries that are not apparent initially
