School teachers didn't sign up to be police officers. It might be good if you ask Mrs. Beasley, who's been teaching your 4th graders since the invention of the light bulb, if she minds getting her skin perforated by a 360 fps plastic ball.

Indiana State Police Active Shooter Program

Across our country, millions of students attend school safely every day. We have prepared them to meet life's challenges for years. Tragically, in light of recent events, we must now prepare them for the unthinkable. Both in our schools, and increasingly in our places of work, worship, and recreation, individuals with only violent intent bring unexpected death and destruction into our daily lives. Join us for this webinar with the Indiana State Police to learn some survival strategies for active shooter events.

The following policy applies: Any time a staff member views an online event (or a library purchases a site license for an online event) by any of the Training Providers Approved by ISL for LEUs, the library’s designee in an administrative or Human Resources role shall create and award LEU certificates in-house.

The NRA's School Shield Program

The National Rifleman's Association (NRA) created a program with people they considered experts on the subject of school safety.

The thing I found most interesting here, is that the NRA has millions of members. No doubt, a huge number of those people are parents. Yet, since this video came out, it's only had 4500 views. Even after Parkland. They got it wrong. Empanelling experts Asa Hutchinson thought well enough to bring in, wasn't enough.

The "Business Of School Shootings"

We should not have "competitors" bad mouthing each other's programs. Critics, yes, but deliberately speaking against a program like ALICE, just to compete for money? This is part of the problem. How is a school supposed to listen for a solution when they got "product offerings" knocking on their door-step telling them how the other guys programs are going to somehow kill your kids... In Parkland, we discovered that even with all the systems in place, there was a cascading failure all through the system.

Police Training and Learning

Active shooter training. Lots of people involved, participation willingness is there. Over 800,000 views since August of 2016.

Full Scale Training Exercises (FSE)

Police must train to understand rapidly involved mass murder events and how to respond.
