To: LP Audience From: LPolice Radio Date: April 19, 2018 Subject: episode # 31, How to develop school security Main Topic: Host Alpha Mike talks about the ongoing dilemma of school security. With the mass murder of Parkland in Broward County Florida, people are demanding better security in our schools, and rightfully so. Now some people are thinking about the idea of giving guns to teachers, Alpha Mike remembers his 5th grade English teacher with a gun, what a scary thought. Alpha comes up with some simple solutions for school security. The LPolice Radio hot-topic continues to pop up, hire retired LEO's to work as armed part time officers in schools. Our retired people would be allowed to work within their neighborhoods schools 2 to 3 days a week aiding the School Resource Officer (SRO). The pay would be much more affordable for jurisdictions. Additionally teachers certified as reserved officers or the Polk County Sheriff's Office Sentinel program.  Special Deputy Sheriff Sentinel Program Training: (132 total hours) Firearms: 80 hour block of instruction. This firearms training is based on the CJSTC law enforcement academy training model. A typical academy student will fire approximately 1,000 training rounds during the academy. The Sentinel Program Training will include 10-20% more rounds fired for each participant. Firearms: Precision Pistol / 16 hour block of instruction. Firearms Discretionary Shooting: 4 hour block of instruction using state of the art simulator exercises. Active Shooter/Assailant: 8 hour block of instruction. Defensive Tactics: 4 hour block of instruction. Legal / High Liability: 20 hour block of instruction. All training will be conducted by CJSTC-certified instructors. Ongoing and annual proficiency retraining will be conducted by the PCSO. Higher Standards:The 100 hour block of firearms instruction is 25% more instruction than the equivalent block of CJSTC law enforcement firearms instruction deputies receive (80 hours). Additionally, Sentinel Program participants will be required to pass the firearms training at an 85% pass rate compared to the CJSTC standard of an 80% pass rate. The 16 hour precision pistol course is additional training (not required for deputy sheriffs). The 4 hour block discretionary shooting instruction is a separate training for the Sentinel Program (in addition to the 80 hour block of instruction). Sentinels will receive 8 hours of active shooter/assailant training (deputies receive 6 hours training). School Resource Officers (SRO)  and the most important aspect of school safety, the ShotSpotter program how good is it read this story "Bigwig in mayor's Office of Criminal Justice nabbed with gun in car in Queens". ShotSpotter is gunshot detection technology that uses sophisticated acoustic sensors to detect, locate and alert law enforcement agencies and security personnel about illegal gunfire incidents in real-time. The digital alerts include a precise location on a map (latitude/longitude) with corresponding data such as the address, number of rounds fired, type of gunfire, etc. delivered to any browser-enabled smartphone or mobile laptop device as well as police vehicle MDC or desktop. This information is key to better protecting officers by providing them with increased tactical awareness. It also enables law enforcement agencies to better connect with their communities and bolsters their mission to protect and serve.
