  1. Active Shooter Response TrainingOn the School Bus Survival Mindset&Courses of Action 2013 Mid-year Director’s Meeting

  2. Response On A School Bus • Be observant of the environment you travel by each day, fall back on your FirstObserver Training. • Situational Awareness, • Safety and Security Plans while on the bus • Fall back on your training to react (think quickly) • If you see something that is not right at the bus stop as you pull up, (guy with a gun) don’t stop, continue to drive pass the stop and call dispatch with your observations. • If you have already stopped and something happened, Remember to “KEEP CALM” • We have LIMITED options in the confined space on the bus

  3. Situational Awareness • Shootings can occur anytime, anywhere, to anyone • Unlike any situation ever experienced • Bottom Line: You need to take direct responsibility for your personal safety and security and those student on your bus • Survival Mindsetis a protective shield • Comprised of three components: Awareness, Preparation, and Rehearsal

  4. Response On A School Bus • Limited Options: • Take Action: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT • If something just doesn’t seem right at the stop, don’t make the stop, continue past and call Dispatch for assistance. • If you stop and something happens, Depress RED Emergency Button • Remember, help is on the way once the button is pushed • Dispatch will contact you over the radio and if no response, LEO will be called and you will be tracked using AVL/GPS • If possible, leave radio microphone in the “Keyed Open” position. • If demands are made, follow the demands. • Hiding is not an option for us at this point.

  5. Response On A School Bus • As the absolute LAST RESORT, Take Out the threat: • If the weapon was used (Shots fired), you have to assume the shooter’s intentions are deadly • Shooter will succeed in shooting all those with whom he comes in contact, UNLESS you stop him • You must be prepared to do whatever it takes to neutralize the threat • Throw things, yell, use improvised weapons • If you can, make a plan to overcome the shooter • Do the best that you can—choose to survive • If possible, students should exit the bus using the emergency exits and run…….to safety

  6. Response On A School Bus • When Law Enforcement officers respond to the bus, do not present a threat to them • DO NOT: • Point at them or the shooter • Make quick movements • Run towards them or attempt to hug them • Scream or yell • Have anything in your hands; officers are taught that “hands kill”

  7. Response On A School Bus • When Law Enforcement Responds: • DO: • Raise your arms • Spread your fingers • Show hands as you drop to the floor • Spread arms and legs

  8. Response On A School Bus • See Something, Say Something: Tell a supervisor, call dispatch, use your training! • Recognizing suspicious behavior is your responsibility • Reacting quickly when faced with this type of crisis: • Run • Fight (Take Action) • Call Dispatch or 911 • Reacting when Law Enforcement arrives • Adopting the survival mindset during times of crisis
