Morgan Ballis

2 Hours

K-12 facilities experience unique challenges when implementing options-based response programs. These challenges stem from a top-down approach to infrastructure improvement and policies directed toward addressing critical, violent incidents on campus. This module will give officers historical insight on why a lockdown only approach is no longer aligned to best-practices and how to deliver options-based response curriculum to educators in a responsible and trauma informed manner. Officers will explore the L.E.W.I.S. model for assessing K-12 campuses in order to deliver site-specific training and leverage staff buy-in to create successful options-based response programs.
