Arizona residents now have 35 more trained and certified immediate responders among our ranks! On Wednesday, June 26th, these dedicated medical professionals were trained by the Southern Arizona Stop the Bleed Coalition and completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Everyone needs basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without immediate intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!

2019 ASROA Conference a Success!

This particular short article: 2019 ASROA Conference a Success! was first found on http://www.icsave.org

The 2019 Arizona School Resource Officer Association (ASROA) School Based Policing Conference was held June 10-13, 2019 at the Talking Stick Resort on the Salt-River-Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation just outside of Scottsdale, AZ. ASROA is a non-profit 501-c-3 organization that exists for the purpose of training, educating and providing resources to the officers and those associated with Law Enforcement working in schools. Since its founding in 1996, the diverse membership of School Resource Officers and school safety/security personnel have influenced the lives of thousands of Arizona students, teachers, administrators and parents statewide. ASROA was founded on the triad concept of responsibilities held by a School Resource Officer (SRO): Teacher - Counselor - Law Enforcement Officer. This three-part role is essential to the health of an SRO unit's success, and by extension, to the schools and communities they serve. Following this model, the men and women of ASROA develop positive images of law enforcement to Arizona's youth, in addition to preventing and responding to campus violence and crime. ICSAVE was honored to be apart of this year’s conference, which offered up-to-date, vital information and training, continuing education units, and the opportunity to network with other SROs from around Arizona. To the brave men and women who selflessly serve our various community schools, thank you for your service!

Cochise County Immediate Responder Training

The original publication of Cochise County Immediate Responder Training was carried out on: icsave.org

Over the past few years, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), Fry Fire District (FFD) and Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) have had the opportunity to train hundreds of local school teachers, administrative and support staff, and nurses regarding basic trauma care. Personnel were provided with training on compression-only CPR and how to identify and control life-threatening bleeding. In 2015, CCSO and FFD partnered with Barbara Moshier, the lead representative for the Sierra Vista Unified Public Schools’ School Health Advisory Committee. Since then, those three organizations have jointly pursued local funding and grants through the Arizona Department of Education, that have supported the development and deployment of trauma aid bags for all of the Sierra Vista Public Schools. In order to qualify for these bags, school personnel had to participate in training built around the national Stop the Bleed curriculum. These trauma supplies and training allow school personnel to provide immediate care at the point of wounding to injured students. The initial training is being augmented by additional Stop the Bleed training courses that provide additional hands on training for participants as well as first-aid kits that teachers will have access to in their classrooms. Not to be outdone, recently several Buena High School CTEC EMT students also participated in the training and are now helping train their teachers! The next Cochise County Stop the Bleed courses will be conducted at various educational facilities throughout the month of July. CCSO, FFD, the Sierra Vista Public Schools’ Health Advisory Committee and ICSAVE are lead-turning efforts to prepare all of our educators, administrators and students to become Immediate Responders!

We are very happy to see Banner UMC involved with the “Stop the Bleed” campaign and proud to say we are working hand-in-hand with them to bring this vital training to the community.

Banner University Medical Center is now offering up two-hour classes on how to properly apply tourniquet. It’s all a part of the nationwide Stop the Bleed campaign.

KVOA | KVOA.com | Tucson, Arizona

Tucson Police officer Doug Wilfert can attest to the life-saving tool of a tourniquet. On December 1, 2016, Wilfert was shot in the leg while serving a felony warrant at a south side apartment complex. "They saw how much blood there was, they applied a tourniquet and potentially saved my life,” Wilfert said. Medical professionals said a person can die from blood loss within five minutes. "You don't have to be in the medical field to be able to take care of your friends and family,” Daniels said. Trauma surgeon Dr. Andrew Tang urges the community to take advantage of the classes in a time where mass shootings and terrorist attacks have become commonplace around the world.

2017 Arizona State Fire School Asymmetric Threats Course

This particular write-up: 2017 Arizona State Fire School Asymmetric Threats Course was initially seen on http://www.icsave.org

Response and Realities of Active Violence Events

The violence of terrorism, both home grown and foreign, enacted by both the calculating and insane continues to impact our national life. For the past two decades, these horrific events have occurred in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Today, every fire service organization, no matter its size, population, or location has the potential to find itself responding to mass murder. And, despite these continually evolving and asymmetric threats, many public safety organizations throughout the country have yet to develop response guidelines. Those that have find themselves struggling to bridge the gap between military and civilian, police and fire, and even volunteer and career. These organizations often struggle to find training solutions that will be effective for their populations, manpower, and equipment.

 This highly interactive, 4-day course will investigate Active Violence threats and discuss the solutions, challenges, and failures of the past two decades. Featuring speakers from several disciplines, this course will be extremely comprehensive. And you will hear from some of the very best teachers on the subject, men and women with direct experience either as first arriving personnel or victims of these horrible events. In addition, our qualified and experienced instructors will offer substantive, integrated point-of-wound care training in simulated on-going ballistic and/or explosive threat environments.  We designed this course to specifically target representatives of public safety organizations who want to be ready for an Active Violence Event in their own first due. Be an agent of change and join us!
