Active Assailant Most active assailants only think about accomplishing a high body count! NO room for talking ONLY room for Action!
New mindset Active Assailants: • What are your willing to do to survive? • What am I empowered to do? • Empowering your employees to make decisions.
New mindset Mental Health: • You will never have a “safe” school until you acknowledge and treat mental health issues. • Situational awareness of the “red flags” of suicide. • Understanding that suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in children 10-22 years of age.
New mindset Human Trafficking: https://ag.ks.gov/public-safety/human-trafficking • Kansas is a major thoroughfare. • Age range 12-18 yrs. • 82% online sex crimes against minors. • They were recruited off their social media sites. • Hard to get victims out of their situation. • They believe they deserve to be treated this way. “Childhood should not be a life and death experience!”
Mitigation Planning Safety is it’s own line item in school budgets! • Every dollar invested in safety programs can provide a return of $4 to $6 in reduced costs. Training and exercises (drills)
Outcomes of not budgeting safety Not addressing safety issues can negatively impact your bottom line in a number of direct and indirect ways. Medical expenses, disability payments, and OSHA fines are all recognizable direct costs of injuries and accidents. However, indirect costs should also be calculated and may include legal fees, long-term substitute costs while a staff member recovers, administrative time spent investigating and managing an issue, the cost to implement any change and communication of that change to staff, and, most importantly, an increase in your workers' compensation premiums. LOSS of Trust!
Time for a change EVERYBODY wants to see change! The thought process of “It won’t happen here” is irresponsible, school safety is not a fad. It’s time to proactively plan, talk about and implement school safety.
