COPS to train D21 staff
in active response:
The Buffalo Grove Police Department (BGPD) has once again joined with
administrators from Community Consolidated School District 21 (CCSD21) to
provide active threat response training to school teachers and staff. The BGPD
has participated in this proactive, ongoing training since early 2018.
The
goal of this partnership is to improve security measures throughout the
district, while providing teachers and staff with continuing education on how
to be best prepared in the event of an active threat. Recommendations on
security cameras, locking mechanisms and general safety tips have been discussed
during CCSD21’s Safety and Security Committee meetings and Safety and School
Design Committee meetings.
In
the coming weeks, BGPD officers will lead CCSD21 educators and staff through
scenarios that are designed to evoke different responses to a threat. Topics
such as lockdowns, barricading rooms, evacuating and countering threats will be
discussed and demonstrated.
