COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents - Partnering Rural Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Local School Systems course is to educate rural law enforcement personnel as well as school administrators and personnel on the elements that must be in place to effectively respond to an emergency at a school building or an entire school system. Schools continue to face incidents of violence as well as other crises that require coordination and collaboration within a community to ensure effective management strategies are in place.

As evidenced by the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) 2021 report, Averting Targeted School Violence, the research has found that students display a variety of behaviors as they escalate towards violence to themselves or others. NTAC recommends that schools and communities develop multidisciplinary threat assessment programs to identify, assess, and intervene before violence occurs. This course provides information to the individual rural responder, school representatives, and other community stakeholders that will assist them in the recognition of school-based threats and the identification of protection measures and mitigation strategies necessary to secure our nation's school communities and minimize the impact of an incident on people, property, and the environment.
