St. Charles Apache Mission Ready to Protect the Flock!

This particular blog post St. Charles Apache Mission Ready to Protect the Flock! has been initially produced on: www.ICSAVE.org

Since 1999, there have been over 1856 deadly force incidents take place throughout our faith-based communities. On Friday, August 23rd, 30 congregants and school officials from St. Charles Apache Mission School received the knowledge, skills and abilities to better survive an active killer event. Conducted by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) and the Arizona Church Security Network, ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) is a set of proactive, options-based strategies, that increase community members’ chances of survival and bridge the gap between the time a violent event begins and law enforcement arrives. These participants learned and experienced the decisive advantages of proactive vs. passive response strategies via numerous live scenario drills and Bleeding Control interventions and are now empowered to help save lives!

University of Arizona Employees Our Community’s Newest Superheroes!

The following posting: University of Arizona Employees Our Community’s Newest Superheroes! was first seen on www.ICSAVE.org

We want to recognize the University of Arizona educators, administrators, and support personnel who joined us Thursday, August 22nd to talk about the vitally important subjects of school safety and community resilience! Pima County is blessed to have exceptional professionals who dedicate their lives to ensuring our children receive a top-notch education, and do so in a safe and secure learning environment. Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) led the discussion, and also provided the participants with lifesaving instruction in Bleeding Control Interventions. Civilians need 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 civilian 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! All of us at ICSAVE send out a special thank you to University of Arizona Emergency Medical Services (UAEMS) for assisting us with this vitally important event. From our family to yours, thank you for your service!

Flagstaff Public Safety Active Violence Response Training

This particular piece of writing: Flagstaff Public Safety Active Violence Response Training was initially seen on ICSAVE.org website

On August 15th and 16th, 40 public safety and healthcare professionals from throughout Arizona conducted 16 hours of intense active violence response training. The purpose of the Public Safety Integration Operations Course is to deconstruct the nature of these evolving threats as well as offer awareness-level integrated point-of-wound care instruction specifically focused on dynamic active violence, all-hazards and/or explosive threats. Day 2’s activities were the culmination of several hours of didactic, practical skills and real-world scenarios’ based training, focusing on the practical application of the 3 phases of Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) and ensuring that all participants had the knowledge, skills and abilities to implement these lifesaving skills under stressful conditions. Active violence events have resulted in numerous civilian casualties and captured the attention of the nation. These horrific and calculated acts have dramatically impacted countless individuals and communities by instilling fear that such events can unpredictably occur in urban, suburban, rural and metropolitan areas. Despite evolving threats, many public safety organizations throughout the country have yet to develop response paradigms to meet these challenges.

This course is specifically targeted for law enforcement and fire / EMS organizations who want to proactively develop integrated response strategies to mitigate the impact a violent mass casualty incident can have on their community. This workshop is recognized by both the Arizona Center for Fire Service Excellence (AzCFSE) and Arizona Peace Officers Standards and Training (AZPOST) Committees.

American Lutheran Church Our Newest Immediate Responders!

This post American Lutheran Church Our Newest Immediate Responders! was originally shared on: the ICSAVE.org blog

The city of Prescott now has 90 more trained and certified immediate responders among our ranks! On Tuesday, August 13th, congregation members from American Lutheran Church completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need 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 civilian 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 citizens now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!
