Dates: January 13–14, 2025
Time: 8:30am – 4:30pm
Location: Sarah Lawrence College
1 Mead Way, Yonkers, NY 10708
Day #1 of this 2-day course consists of an in-depth analysis of law enforcement’s response to the Sandy Hook School Shooting and other recent Active Killer events. This involves a detailed break-down of the time taken to report, dispatch, and respond to these scenes. This course teaches Dispatchers the benefit of Scriptwriting, a critical skill necessary for Shaving Seconds to Save Lives© during an Active Killer event. Dispatchers will be challenged to use their training, experience and the Lessons Learned that are discussed in class to develop D-RAK Scripts, which they’ll take back to their own agencies.
Day #2 will build on the teaching points established during Day #1. Dispatchers will perform scenario-based training repetitions that are monitored, coached, and evaluated using a progressive (Crawl-Walk-Run) blended-learning, performance model. Dispatchers will be expected to identify the critical priorities of the first 1st Responders on scene at an Active Killer event so that the Dispatchers can provide effective and timely support to stopping the threat and saving lives. Dispatchers will be reminded to use this course information in alignment with their existing department policies and procedures. Lastly, Dispatchers will be presented with post-traumatic stress challenges they may encounter in the wake of an Active Killer event and some suggestions on how to mitigate these.
