Every member of the K-12 community can help make schools safer and more supportive. When schools embrace a community-based approach, they can build a culture of preparedness and more comprehensive and effective safety programs.

The following information from schoolsafety.gov provides ideas for how the K-12 community can enhance school safety this year:

This week, SROs and CSSOs participated in the ALERRT SRO Active Attack Response training at Carver Elementary in Little Rock.

This intensive two-day course provided officers with a standardized set of skills designed to help save as many lives as possible during an active shooter incident. The training focused on effective response while already on scene and coordinating with additional responding officers from surrounding agencies.

We were proud to collaborate with the Arkansas Division on Law Enforcement Standards and Training (ADLEST) to provide this training, which was delivered by expert instructors from the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this training a success.

The "I Love U Guys" Foundation will be in Arkadelphia on AUGUST 31 to prepare educators and SROs for two critical components of crisis response: Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and Standard Reunification Method (SRM).

This 7-hour FREE training will introduce the concepts of both the SRP and the SRM and will prepare educators and SROs for providing training in both programs.

The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) rationally organizes tactics for response to weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety. These tactics are action-based, flexible, and easy to learn.

The Standard Reunification Method (SRM) fills a critical void in school safety planning: Reuniting students with their parents after a crisis.
