CHUG: School Bomb Threats and Student Safety
As we know, unplanned emergencies can induce panic, especially when they are not prepared for. As children head back to the classroom, it’s important to understand the risks associated with the education space.
“Unfortunately, many schools historically handled bomb threats and suspicious devices rather poorly. School staff ranging from custodians to principals, and even some security and former police officers, have reportedly picked up suspected devices and moved them around school property, delayed calling police, and taken other dangerous steps which could have possibly been prevented through adequate training, crisis planning, and related measures.”
