School Safety Tips from Alon Stivi, Founder of ACT Cert

Remember that the most effective way to manage an emergency is to address it before a situation becomes a crisis.
The best way to avoid violence is to prevent it in the first place.
Teaching students what to look for and how to report it is a simple and cost-free security improvement that any school can adopt.
If it is suspicious – report it immediately!
Remember that there is NO specific “Profile” of school shooter or a terrorist. We need to examine behavior not profiles. Behavior is the true indicator! Always ask yourself – why is this person behaving this way, in this place, at this time? If something or someone does not ‘feels right’ – do not ignore it!
There is no downside to prevention! The benefits of reporting far outweigh concerns about being perceived as “paranoid”.
