Capital University's Department of Public Safety will sponsor a free seminar on October 19 to teach people what they should do during a crisis requiring lockdown.
Beyond Lockdown: Creating and Implementing Lockdown Enhancements, conducted by Dr. Amy Klinger and Amanda Klinger, of the
Educator's School Safety Network, will take place from 9 am to 1 pm Friday, October 19, in Weiler Conference Suites. The workshop offers schools research-based information on the limitations of traditional lockdown procedures, and more importantly, effective lockdown alternatives and enhancements.
The majority of the workshop will cover specific skills and suggested strategies for improving existing lockdown procedures and implementing enhanced responses to crises. Instructors with expertise and experience in crisis management, school administration, and negligence and liability will discuss traditional and enhanced lockdown procedures and present a range of options for effective school crisis response.
The training is open to students, faculty and staff, but it's primarily intended for directors, supervisors, faculty members and those to whom people would turn for direction if campus were in lockdown or in crisis. Please RSVP to
