Silent
Universal Signals for School Safety©
Filmed live at the Buckingham
Elementary School, Oregon State Police Senior Trooper Robert Dent (Ret.) and
Commander Alan Morris, U.S.N. (Ret.) Former Director of Training at the Naval
Special Warfare Center present their popular 3 hour school safety training
seminar to 50 teachers and staff on non verbal communication.
Drawing from years of real world experiences, these nationally recognized
training veterans teach the proper and proven methods of communicating silently
when lives hang in the balance.
This
no nonsense, realistic instructional video is used in association with the
presenters recently released field manual titled, “Silent
Universal Signals for Public Safety and Education Professionals©” and
the “18 Silent Universal Signals for School Safety©”
educational poster with lesson plan. The
safety poster contains eighteen standardized movement and safety signals, that
when taught and practiced with students, enhance silent communication under many
types of situations; such as group activities, assemblies, field trips, fire
drills, natural disasters, school disturbances or other emergencies. (The training program captured on
this video has been instituted in a number of schools in
This unique, interactive four
part training video is packed with invaluable information insight and techniques
that are critical in silent hand signal communication between teachers, teaching
staff, school resource officers and other emergency responders ie: firefighters
and emergency medical technicians. (Note:
Due to some tactical information contained, the video is not intended for
students but for teachers to learn the techniques of silent communication and to
teach students the 18 signals on the school safety poster.)
Too
often, teachers, varied responding law enforcement, and other emergency
personnel have no way to communicate or are on different radio frequencies.
Silent Signals© provides a communications plan that allows
personnel to transfer information in a low profile, direct and clear means to
multiple individuals and or agencies at the same instant and is effectively used
through windows.
The easy to remember visual
and auditory signaling techniques, presented in the video enhance Homeland
Security through communications interoperability. It also provides a standardized method
of transferring critical life saving information during efforts
to de-escalate, control, and or resolve emergent situations often faced in our
schools today.
Simply
put... this basic entry level training program
provides a protocol for primary, secondary and tertiary means of communication
that builds a team response that saves
lives.
