Does Your Child’s School Have One of These Ineffective Responses to Active Shooter Training?

Written by Jon Cross | Apr 10, 2023 9:39:31 PM

School violence is at an all-time high in this country, with many security experts predicting that these numbers will increase. The staggering reality is that many schools must catch up when providing their children with a comprehensive safety and security protocol. Get involved at your child's school by asking administrators how they keep your child safe.

Signs of an ineffective school safety plan:

  • Limited training for staff and students.
  • Training that scares staff and students instead of educating them.
  • Teachers are not trained in life-saving emergency care, such as bleed control and CPR.
  • Inadequate and hard-to-find emergency medical equipment.
  • The staff is unaware of or doesn't understand their school's active shooter response protocol.
  • Substitute teachers are not trained on the school's active shooter response plan.
  • NO ACTIVE SHOOTER PROTOCOL IS IN PLACE.

ProActive Response Group's active shooter and emergency response training are designed to EMPOWER and SAVE LIVES. It is true when we say "it takes a village" to raise and keep our children safe. We all need to do our part in protecting our most precious gifts in life. Let administrators know school safety isn't just a task on a to-do list waiting to get checked off.
