Development and implementation of training programs that are tailored to the specific needs of each client.

Trainings are designed to address the level of responsibility staff members have during an emergency response in order to optimize available time and funding. All of our training programs rely heavily on the concept of participant involvement in tabletop exercise and hands-on drills. This experiential learning helps attendees understand the anchor points presented in the lecture and develop the “muscle memory” that allows emergency response to become second nature during a stressful critical incident. SSO is aware of time and budgetary restrictions faced by schools and school districts, so training blocks are designed around availability of both.

Adhering to the National Incident Management System and School Incident Command System requirements

• Lockdown, Lock Out, Evacuation, Shelter-In-Place, and Drop-Cover-Hold
• Multi-phased training programs
