Training Symposium & Workshops June
16-17, 2008 About this Symposium: At the School Security
and Safety Regional Training Symposium, you will learn
about the latest initiatives, programs and best practices for school
safety planning, preparation and response. Insights will be given
into recent case studies of school shootings and joint law enforcement
and school training exercises. Great emphasis will be placed on the
need for schools and law enforcement/emergency personnel to develop
a proactive working relationship to mitigate threats in schools.
This relationship will be presented by speaker and discussed and
debated by speakers and attendees alike in a collaborative forum
throughout the event. You will leave the symposium with actionable
information, models and tools to use at your school, affiliated school
district, agency and community. You will take with you administrative
tools, educational and training content for staff, parents and students,
as well as information to assist your school in complying with federal
standards. The two day symposium will be presented in a different
format for each day. The first day will be general sessions for all attendees
and will focus on Changing the
Paradigm of School Safety and will provide you with
valuable information on the importance of being proactive in your preparedness
for the possibility of emergencies in schools. You will hear about vital
exercises that schools and law enforcement officials can conduct in tandem
to more adequately prepare schools for the possibility of an active shooter.
Presenters and attendees will discuss the lessons learned for all schools
after analyzing recent case studies, including Virginia Tech, Northern
Illinois University, Columbine High School and Beslan, Russia. Interactive
and engaging presentations by trained professionals will share information
about important resources available to greater equip our schools including
technology, grants and training programs. Day two will focus on Training
for Tomorrow and attendees will be able to attend one
of three workshops relevant to their role and responsibilities in
school security. Each training workshop will be six hours of interactive,
instructional sessions with some of the nation’s top school security
trainers. A Homeland Defense Journal Certificate of Completion will
be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop. About the Workshops: Developing Optimum School Safety & Crisis Management Plans will assist participants with their individual school or school district’s crisis management plan. This training workshop will cover the “mission of a crisis management plan, the role of the central office, and the extensive nuances of these plans. The 80/20 solution provides you with the foundation needed for a thorough, sound crisis management plan that can be tailored to your school’s unique situation and individual needs. Attendees are encouraged to bring their school’s individual crisis management plan to share with the instructor and fellow participants.
