SCHOOLS
Emergency Response Plans
Does your school have a comprehensive and practical emergency plan? When is the last time your plan was updated? No one can predict with 100% certainty when an emergency will happen or how an event will impact safety at your school. An effective strategy to maintaining a safer and more secure school environment is to ensure that you have an emergency plan in place before something happens. Emergency plans should include the essential components of preparedness, prevention-mitigation, response, and recovery. Emergency plans should be updated annually. Contact us to learn how we can help you develop, revise, or update your emergency plan. Also ask about our digital emergency response plan software.
Security Risk Surveys
Your safety and security decisions should be based on facts not assumptions. Having a security risk survey performed at your school will provide your administrative team with objective information they can use to improve security and reduce risk. The security risk survey includes a physical inspection of your facilities and grounds, analysis of your security policies, and assessment of your emergency preparedness capabilities as it relates to emergency planning, emergency training, emergency equipment, emergency collaboration, and emergency communications. Security risk surveys should be conducted every five years. Contact us to learn how we can perform a security risk survey at your school. Also ask about our digital security risk survey software.

VARS CERTIFICATION
(Violent Assault Response Survival) is an 8-hour hands on training certification course designed to teach practical techniques that can be utilized to survive a violent assault at your school, house of worship, or workplace. Whether you work at a school, university, hospital, church, temple, or other workplace setting, the principles of survival taught in this course are universal and based on the philosophy that your chances of surviving a violent assault increase significantly if you understand all the options available to you during an attack.
Far too often, organizations have adopted a “lockdown only” tactic in response to an active shooter. Employees are continuously trained to lockdown, hide, and wait to be rescued by responding police. A major problem with “lockdown only” protocol is that most active shooter incidents are stopped by other than police. In other words, the killing ceases because the shooter runs out of ammunition, commits suicide, or is overtaken by the people they are trying to murder.
Make no mistake, an active shooter inside your building is an imminent threat to your safety. CLPS firmly believes that Lockdown during an active shooter event is a viable option and should be included as part of your organization’s emergency response plan. However, there are other options you need to know in addition to “locking down” that could increase your chances of survival. This course teaches Early Threat Recognition, Crisis Communications, Lockdown and Barricade, Safe Evacuation and Escape, and Defensive Force and Resistance Tactics.
VARS Certification training is a train-the-trainer course. Participants who successfully complete this course will be authorized and prepared to provide this important survival training to others at their organization.
