Cleveland Heights, OH
A sixth-grade student at Monticello Middle School was arrested after allegedly threatening to shoot a security officer in the head.
The boy cursed at a substitute gym teacher, and the security officer was summoned to take the boy to the office. On the way to the office, the boy shoved the officer and made the threat.
Analysis
When hiring a security officer or SRO, care must be given to the skills they have. Skills in deescalation are a must. While they cannot prevent all situations, they can be used to prevent some of them, and can prevent situations that are occurring from getting worse. The Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) is an excellent resource for this type of training.
Deescalation skills can help you Stay Alive.
