0317 – Safety and Security Trends in our Schools

November 28, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

School shootings are a complex and challenging problem to solve. The reactionary position that LE, school administrators and students find themselves in seems to be a difficult scenario in which to succeed, however, the stakes are high. We value our children tremendously as we should and a the same time we often leave them in precariously exposed positions without the tools to deal with serious problems that can occur. Some news this month would seem to indicate that we are correcting course to a degree and working to regain ground in the battle to keep our children safe. Today we will talk about some of the issues that surround school violence.

0192 - Thoughts on Giduck's Lessons From Beslan [ 28:05 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (259)

On Saturday I spent 8 hours with Chris of Tactics Design at a seminar sponsored by the Buckeye Firearms Association. The presenter was author of the book: Terror At Beslan, John Giduck.

John was a great and entertaining presentor and really helped to bring together some of the important concepts related to terrorism and mass hostage seiges. In addition, John presented some lessons that we need to learn from previous mass hostage sieges. It is my personal opinion that at some point and time we are we are going to face a mass hostage siege here in America. Today we are going to take a look at five things that ANYONE and EVERYONE could do to help us to prepare to handle a mass hostage siege. The ideas presented were presented by John Giduck and I have added my own little twists and opinions.

Dress for battle EVERYDAY!
Integrate support services
Get medical training
Be ready to handle the first 5 minutes alone
Terrorists fear failure armed citizens and LEO are the greatest danger to the success of their plans

As a teacher turned trainer I would like to think that I have a pretty deep understanding of many of the issues that we face when it comes to terrorism in our schools. As a parent, I have to say this topic really hits home.

I am not going to spend a lot of time talking about today’s FF. It really can speak for itself. I will say that I feel pretty strongly that we need to take this issue seriously.

John Giduck and Brad Thor on the Beslan School tragedy.
