    CRITICAL INCIDENT

    TRAINING RESOURCES

    North Carolina Critical Incident Response for School Faculty and Staff

    The Center for Safer Schools and the Safe and Healthy Schools Division of the Department of Public Instruction collaborated in early April
    2014 to provide Critical Incident Response Training to North Carolina public schools and charters.

    Using a train-the-trainer model, more than 130 school and charter administrators and school resource officers attended the trainings, held in Winston-Salem, Kinston and the Asheville area. The Center for Safer Schools developed a new training module based on best practices; those who went through the training have been asked to provide training to each school in their respective Local Education Authority.
    Trainers have been encouraged to invite local law enforcement and emergency responders to these training sessions. The Center continues to reach out to educational agencies and provide this training when requested.

    Additionally,
    the Center for Safer Schools is reaching out to law enforcement agencies to provide information on the new training module and the updated practices it employs.

We know that when police knocked on classroom doors, and identified them, teachers and students called out that there was no shooter in there.

    QUITE DIFFERENT FROM TEACHERS HUDDLED WITH STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM. Since he was holding a guy at gunpoint, it appeared to be a hostage situation. THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME SITUATIONS BEEZER!

    Obviously not good training!

    So that would have stopped this guy with a gun? The metal detector beeps and he would stop?



    So if the shooter was wearing the uniform, would that have made a difference?

    But you approve of some "teacher" who is having sex with a student, as long as they don't have a gun?

    How Columbine changed the way police respond to mass shootings

    By Ray Sanchez, CNN
    Updated 7:06 PM ET, Thu February 15, 2018

    (CNN) They rush straight to the gunfire.

    That's how the April 1999 massacre at Columbine High School -- where two young men killed 13 people -- shaped the way law enforcement respond to active shooter incidents such as Wednesday's deadly rampage in Parkland, Florida.

    "It changed everything," said James Gagliano, a retired member of the FBI's elite hostage rescue team.


    "Prior to Columbine, nobody understood what the term 'active shooter' meant."


    Nearly two decades ago, a pair of Littleton, Colorado, students named Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18, carried out a killing spree at Columbine that law enforcement experts called a watershed event in the response to active shooters.


    Within 13 minutes of the first 911 call, Klebold and Harris fatally shot 12 students and a teacher and wounded 23 other people before killing themselves with gunshot wounds to the head. SWAT teams entered the school 47 minutes after the gunfire erupted.

    An exhaustive FBI review of the police response at Columbine led to a more rapid response strategy during active shooter situations, according to Gagliano.


    The "stark and important" lessons learned from the Columbine response, which was widely criticized, may have helped save lives Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Gagliano said. Before the Colorado shooting, responding officers would set up a secure perimeter around the crime scene before even thinking about moving on the suspect.

    In Parkland, authorities say Nikolas Cruz, 19, fatally shot 17 people at his former school before blending in with the students and staff rushing out of the school building. He was arrested in a neighboring community later in the day.


    "Nowadays, what we do is go to the sound of the guns," Gagliano said. "You get one, two, three, four people together. We're trained.

    We use particular formations."


    Gagliano called it a "heterogeneous group" of first responders that could include local, state and federal agencies.


    "You're going to the sound of the guns," he said. "The No. 1 goal is to interdict the shooter or shooters. In the old days, you took land.

    You went in. You clear the room. Then you slowly and methodically move to clear the next room. In this instance ... get to the shooter as quickly as possible and that's what they clearly did here."


    The tactic, known in law enforcement circles as rapid deployment involving the first officer at the scene, began in earnest after the Columbine shooting.


    More than half of mass shooting incidents are still in progress when officers arrive on the scene, with 75% requiring law enforcement to confront the shooter before the threat ends, Katherine Schweit, a former senior FBI official, wrote in a 2013 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin article.


    A study of 35 active shooter incidents during 2012 found that 37% ended in less than five minutes and 63% in less than 15 minutes, according to Schweit. The average active shooter incident lasts 12 minutes.

    The lessons learned from Columbine led the US Justice Department and other federal agencies to partially fund an active shooter program known as Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training, or ALERRT, Schweit wrote.


    The training, which was developed by the San Marcos, Texas, Police Department and the Hays County, Texas, Sheriff's Department and adopted by Texas State University in San Marcos, includes a 16-hour course that "prepares first responders to isolate, distract and end the threat when an active shooter is engaged," according to Schweit.


    Since its creation in 2002, more than 105,000 law enforcement officers have been trained through the ALERRT program.


    "Some of the lessons learned after Columbine, we called it post-Columbine, were stark and important and, I believe, saved a number of lives," Gagliano said.

    Teacher who accidentally fired gun in class resigns


    Associated PressApril 12, 2018


    FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2010 file photo, Seaside City Council member Dennis Alexander speaks during an election forum in Seaside, Calif. Alexander, a teacher who accidentally fired a gun inside a Northern California classroom while teaching firearm safety has resigned. KSBW-TV reports that Dennis Alexander submitted his resignation to the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District on March 29. It will be effective at the end of the school year. (David Royal/Monterey County Herald via AP, File) More

    SEASIDE, Calif. (AP) — A teacher who accidentally fired a gun inside a Northern California classroom while teaching firearm safety resigned his administration of justice teaching job, school officials said.


    Dennis Alexander submitted his resignation to the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District on March 29. It will be effective at the end of the school year, district spokeswoman Marci McFadden told KSBW-TV.


    Alexander last month was pointing the gun at the ceiling to make sure it was not loaded when the weapon discharged. No one sustained serious injuries but some students were hit by fallen ceiling debris, police said.


    Alexander remains on administrative leave while the internal disciplinary process continues, McFadden said.


    Alexander, who is a Seaside City Council member, was also a reserve Sand City police officer but he resigned that position after the incident.


    Police officers "are obligated to handle firearms safely. They are not supposed to display firearms unnecessarily. You are not supposed to allow other people to handle your firearm," said Sand City Police Chief Brian Ferrante.


    While California has a state law banning teachers from bringing guns to school, Alexander was legally allowed to carry firearms on campus because he was a sworn peace officer.


    Alexander has not responded to several requests for comment but he made an emotional apology during a city council meeting last month.


    Many students in the coastal community about 115 miles (185 kilometers) south of San Francisco supported their well-liked teacher, organizing rallies and circulating a petition to keep Alexander at Seaside High School.


    "We know Alexander's worth and meaning, that's what truly matters. He will always be a part of our Spartan family, no matter what," student Cleve Waters told KSBW.
