Since 1999, there have been over 1856 deadly force incidents take place throughout our faith-based communities. On Saturday, November 9th, 60 Door Church congregants 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, I LIVED (Active Killer Response Course) 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!

Whitmore Elementary School Educators Our Newest Immediate Responders!

You can see the initial release of this post Whitmore Elementary School Educators Our Newest Immediate Responders! at this website: www.ICSAVE.org

Pima County residents now have 40 more trained and certified immediate responders among our ranks! On Wednesday, November 6th, these dedicated Tucson Unified School District professionals met at W. V. Whitmore Elementary School and 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 exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! [embed]https://youtu.be/_oOKkG5mfEM[/embed]
