A LEADING EXPERT ON SCHOOL SAFETY AND FORMER MEMBER OF ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES HAS THE SOLUTION TO CAMPUS VIOLENCE READY NOW
 
Security and counterterrorism expert calls for a National School Safety Standard and has a program ready to be implemented immediately in the school curricula
 
WHO:

Alon Stivi, the President of Direct Measures International, Inc. and Advisory Board Member, at UCI’s Center for Unconventional Security Affairs (CUSA).

Alon Stivi immigrated to the United States from Israel and has served as an advisor to federal, state, and local government agencies, including the U.S. military and law enforcement, as well as corporate executives and celebrities since 1988. He taught close combat tactics to the US Navy SEAL CQB Instructors and trains First Responders in critical incidents intervention. He manages school security programs and is involved in university research on school violence since 1999. Prior to his arrival in the U. S., Mr. Stivi served as a Platoon Sergeant in the Israeli Special Forces and participated in numerous missions in defense of the State of Israel and the war against terrorism. He is a member of the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS), a Board of Advisor member of the Center for Unconventional Security Affairs (CUSA) at the University of California at Irvine and is the Training Advisor for the International Association of Counter Terrorism and Security Professionals (IACSP). He serves as a Reserve Deputy with the Los Angeles Sheriff Department (LASD).

   
WHY: The recent tragedy at Virginia Tech is a sad reminder of the lack of individual and institutional preparedness for such threats. Studies show that by the time the First Responders becomes involved, most casualties have already occurred. To manage these threats effectively, immediate intervention by the On-Location Responders is crucial. There is an urgent need for a program that teaches simple and proven strategies that people can use to collectively evade or resist armed aggressors in confined spaces.
   
WHAT: Alon is available to talk about the comprehensive step-by-step intervention program he developed and how to improve school crisis response capabilities and student preparedness. The program promotes cooperation between law enforcement and schools and can prevent future disasters.
