What do you tell your students ? Stay calm and keep communicating. Keep accountability of all your students. Do your best in keeping everyone together. If a police action is taking place, Leave all backpacks behind. Go to a designated safe place and stay there until a recognized voice tells you it’s clear to come out. Write down what you know of the incident ASAP.
Pre-planning Know where you are if you need to contact emergency services. Know where to go that is safe. Know how to secure your position and barricade the door.
How to summon help by calling Do Not call for non-emergency incidents. From your cell phone or any campus phone, works. Do briefly describe the type of incident you are reporting Do stay on the line and let the call taker ask the questions. Do Not hang up until told to do so by the call taker.
What to expect when Law enforcement arrive during an active shooter event. They have arrived to eliminate the threat. They will do what it takes to secure the scene Arguments will not be accepted, conversations will not be entertained. Do as you are instructed to make things easier. They are not there to be your friend, but to save lives. Agencies from all over the region may respond. They may ignore the injured if the scene is not secure.
