Camden County Police Chiefs Association Camden County Department of Public Safety Camden County Superintendant O Camden County Police Chiefs Association Camden County Department of Public Safety Camden County Superintendant of Schools Camden County Prosecutors Office Camden County Fire Chiefs and Fire Officers Association Securing Schools During an Emergency News Conference Media Packet Initiative Explanation and Statement – Chief Harry Earle This past December 14, 2013 marked the one year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in which twenty students and six adults were killed. The tragedy in Newtown was the second worst mass school killing ever, but it was also one of six mass killings with five or more deaths in the United States in 2012. Mass killing plots or actual attacks has begun to increase. In the year since the tragedy at Sandy Hook there were twenty-two mass killing plots or attacks at schools in the United States. While knowing this information it is imperative that all agencies and individuals responsible for the protection of their communities constantly evaluate their protocols. In November of 2007 the Camden County Chiefs of Police Association partnered with the Camden County Department of Public Safety, Camden County Fire Chiefs and Fire Officers Association, Camden County Tactical Officers Association, New Jersey Department of Education, and many others in establishing common language and procedures in responding to critical incidents at schools within Camden County. The committee understood that unanticipated tragic events can quickly escalate into a school catastrophe if not dealt with immediately and effectively. It is well understood that knowing what to do when a crisis occurs can minimize the chaos, rumors, and the impact of the event on students, staff and community. The guidelines established in 2007 ensured there were a common set of policies and actions available for utilization by every school and first responder in Camden County so all entities could act in unison regardless of jurisdiction. It is essential that school administrators, school staff, and all first responders are prepared to respond uniformly and appropriately to any emergency at a school and when possible do so in the least disruptive manner to students and the community. The standard and uniformed guidelines created in 2007 established a Three Tier System in which students and staff reacted to an emergency in one of three ways which ranged from minimal educational disruption to a full “lockdown” where students and staff take pre-determined measures to protect themselves. The 2007 standards have served the schools, students, first responders, and residents of Camden County very well. Numerous Tier I and Tier II Lockdown Events were implemented in many communities over the past seven years as well as many Tier III Lockdown drills. Fortunately, all first responders are always constantly seeking new and more effective operational methods. The Camden County Chiefs of Police Association recognized the need in early 2012 that moving from a system where numbered codes were utilized such as “Tiers” to a “plain speech” system could serve to better prepare students and staff in reacting to an emergency. In early 2012 members of the Camden County Chiefs of Police Association attended various training programs regarding school security with some being administered by the Department of Education. It was at these training sessions that it was decided that a committee be formed to explore making changes to the existing 2007 standards. The Camden County Chiefs of Police Association formed a School Security Committee in the summer of 2012 and then partnered with the New Jersey Department of Education, Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, Camden County Superintendant of Schools, and Camden County Public Safety Officials in updating our school security terminology. Page 2 of 5 The purpose of having three specific stages of securing a school is because some emergencies simply require little action by school students and staff; however, other incidents may require significant action by its occupants including immediate relocation within the building or securing themselves in a specific area of the school. Without such a three phase system, school officials would have only one option which would be a “lockdown” when an emergency exists. Such a reaction simply causes unnecessary hardship on the students and staff and also greatly minimizes the importance of a true lockdown when the need arises. All schools in Camden County have been required to implement these new guidelines for securing a school in an emergency effective this school year. This news conference event is being held to inform both the parents of school children and the media about these changes. It is important for parents to understand that schools may be placed in three different security levels during various types of incidents. For example, a school may be placed in a “Lockout” when officers are searching areas near the school for someone who has fled from the police. Such an incident would only require the schools bring all students inside and post an official at a single designated entrance. Throughout some schools in the United States this may be called a “Lockdown” and doing this causes unnecessary concern for parents and students which also creates a false sense of urgency when overused. Prior to the changes of this year, a Lockout was entitled a Tier I Lockdown. The Camden County Chiefs of Police Association School Security Committee learned quickly that the word “lockdown” in all of the previous Three Tier System’s security titles could create confusion and lead to complacency. The committee believed it was important to reserve use of the word “lockdown” for only those emergencies that require such significant action. The 2007 guidelines contained a term entitled a “Tier II Lockdown” which is now called a “Shelter In Place”. A Shelter In Place event is similar to a “Lockout” Event except students and staff are not permitted in the hallways. An example of a when a Shelter In Place may take place is when police are conducting an investigation in the school and preventing the students moving from class to class is most appropriate. What was once called a “Tier III Lockdown” in the 2007 Guidelines is now simply called a “Lockdown”. A lockdown event is declared when there is a significant threat to the safety of the students and staff. A lockdown requires all occupants to seek safety, cover, and concealment to protect them from harm. It is quite simple – when the occupants or first responders hear “Lockdown” it is clear that a significant emergency exists. The term “Room Clear” was added to our new and revised protocols. A room clear may be announced by a staff member or first responder and directs all of the occupants of a specific classroom to immediately leave the room. An example of when a Room Clear may be utilized is when a student or staff member has a significant medical emergency. The table below details the new Securing Schools during an Emergency terminology and also highlights the previous terminology from the 2007 protocol. In addition to updating the new Page 3 of 5 terms, a fourth item or action was added entitled a “Room Clear” which can assist in quickly clearing a room of students during a an emergency.

  • Solitary Confinement of Teens in Adult Prisons
    Children in Lockdown: Solitary Confinement of Teens in Adult Prisons January 30, 2010 By Jean Casella and James Ridgeway 23 Comments While there are no concrete numbers, it’s safe to say that hundreds, if not thousands of children are in solitary confinement in the United States–some in juvenile detention facilities, and some in adult prisons. Short bouts of solitary confinement are even viewed as a legitimate form of punishment in some American schools. In this first post on the subject, we address teenagers in solitary confinement in adult prisons. In large part, this grim reality is simply a symptom of the American criminal justice system’s taste for treating children as adults. A study by Michele Deitch and a team of student researchers at the University of Texas’s LBJ School found that on a given day in 2008, there were more than 11,300 children under 18 being held in the nation’s adult prisons and jail. According to Deitch’s 2009 report From Time Out to Hard Time, ”More than half the states permit children under age 12 to be treated as adults for criminal justice purposes. In 22 states plus the District of Columbia, children as young as 7 can be prosecuted and tried in adult court, where they would be subjected to harsh adult sanctions, including long prison terms, mandatory sentences, and placement in adult prison.” These practices set the United States apart from nearly all nations in both the developed and the developing world. Documentation on children placed in solitary confinement in adult prisons is spotty.

  • The Effect of Lockdown Policies on International Trade Evidence from Kenya
    The effect of lockdown policies on international trade Evidence from Kenya Addisu A. Lashitew Majune K. Socrates GLOBAL WORKING PAPER #148 DECEMBER 2020 The Effect of Lockdown Policies on International Trade: Evidence from Kenya Majune K. Socrates∗ Addisu A. Lashitew†‡ January 20, 2021 Abstract This study analyzes how Kenya’s import and export trade was affected by lockdown policies during the COVID-19 outbreak. Analysis is conducted using a weekly series of product-by-country data for the one-year period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Analysis using an event study design shows that the introduction of lockdown measures by trading partners led to a modest increase of exports and a comparatively larger decline of imports. The decline in imports was caused by disruption of sea cargo trade with countries that introduced lockdown measures, which more than compensated for a significant rise in air cargo imports. Difference-in-differences results within the event study framework reveal that food exports and imports increased, while the effect of the lockdown on medical goods was less clear-cut. Overall, we find that the strength of lockdown policies had an asymmetric effect between import and export trade.

  • Fight, Flight Or Lockdown Edited
    Fight, Flight or Lockdown: Dorn & Satterly 1 Fight, Flight or Lockdown - Teaching Students and Staff to Attack Active Shooters could Result in Decreased Casualties or Needless Deaths By Michael S. Dorn and Stephen Satterly, Jr., Safe Havens International. Since the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, there has been considerable interest in an alternative approach to the traditional lockdown for campus shooting situations. These efforts have focused on incidents defined by the United States Department of Education and the United States Secret Service as targeted acts of violence which are also commonly referred to as active shooter situations. This interest has been driven by a variety of factors including: • Incidents where victims were trapped by an active shooter • A lack of lockable doors for many classrooms in institutions of higher learning. • The successful use of distraction techniques by law enforcement and military tactical personnel. • A desire to see if improvements can be made on established approaches. • Learning spaces in many campus buildings that do not offer suitable lockable areas for the number of students and staff normally in the area. We think that the discussion of this topic and these challenges is generally a healthy one. New approaches that involve students and staff being trained to attack active shooters have been developed and have been taught in grades ranging from kindergarten to post secondary level. There are however, concerns about these approaches that have not, thus far, been satisfactorily addressed resulting in a hot debate about these concepts. We feel that caution and further development of these concepts is prudent. Developing trend in active shooter response training The relatively new trend in the area of planning and training for active shooter response for K-20 schools has been implemented in schools.

  • The Lockdown
    TEACHING TEACHING The New Jim Crow TOLERANCE LESSON 6 A PROJECT OF THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TOLERANCE.ORG THE NEW JIM CROW by Michelle Alexander CHAPTER 2 The Lockdown We may think we know how the criminal justice system works. Television is overloaded with fictional dramas about police, crime, and prosecutors—shows such as Law & Order. A charismatic police officer, investigator, or prosecutor struggles with his own demons while heroically trying to solve a horrible crime. He ultimately achieves a personal and moral victory by finding the bad guy and throwing him in jail. That is the made-for-TV ver- sion of the criminal justice system. It perpetuates the myth that the primary function of the system is to keep our streets safe and our homes secure by BOOK rooting out dangerous criminals and punishing them. EXCERPT Those who have been swept within the criminal justice system know that the way the system actually works bears little resemblance to what happens on television or in movies. Full-blown trials of guilt or innocence rarely occur; many people never even meet with an attorney; witnesses are routinely paid and coerced by the government; police regularly stop and search people for no reason whatso- ever; penalties for many crimes are so severe that innocent people plead guilty, accepting plea bargains to avoid harsh mandatory sentences; and children, even as young as fourteen, are sent to adult prisons. In this chapter, we shall see how the system of mass incarceration actually works. Our focus is the War on Drugs. The reason is simple: Convictions for drug offenses are the single most Abridged excerpt important cause of the explosion in incarceration rates in the United States.

  • HUMOR in the AGE of COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: an EXPLORATIVE QUALITATIVE STUDY Patrizia Amici “Un Porto Per Noi Onlus” Association, Bergamo, Italy
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2020; Vol. 32, Suppl. 1, pp 15-20 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia HUMOR IN THE AGE OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: AN EXPLORATIVE QUALITATIVE STUDY Patrizia Amici “Un porto per noi Onlus” Association, Bergamo, Italy SUMMARY Background: This study seeks to explore the use of humor during the period of isolation caused by lockdown measures imposed in Italy as a result of the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Subjects and method: The study is based on a non-clinical sample. The ad hoc questionnaire measures people’s readiness to search for, publish and distribute humorous material during lockdown. It investigates the intentions behind sending content via social media (WhatsApp or similar) and the emotions experienced on receiving such content. Results: The responses have been analyzed quantitatively, and using Excel’s IF function they have been analyzed qualitatively. In the present sample of 106 Italian respondents, searching for content was less common than publishing it (yes 44.34%, no 54.72%). Positive emotions were more frequently the motivation (total 61.32%). A high percentage sent amusing content via social media or SMS (79%). Responses demonstrating a desire to lessen the situation’s negative impact or a desire for cohesion were common. Receiving material was similarly associated with positive emotions and a sense of being close to others. Conclusions: humorous material appears to have served as a means of transmitting positive emotions, distancing oneself from negative events and finding cohesion. Key words: humor – lockdown - COVID 19 * * * * * INTRODUCTION we cannot control events can be considered traumatic or critical, then it is entirely appropriate to include (the In March 2020, the World Health Organization effects of) lockdown in these categories.

  • “Amphan” Into a Super Cyclone?
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 3 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0033.v1 Did COVID-19 lockdown brew “Amphan” into a super cyclone? V. Vinoj* and D. Swain School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar *Email: [email protected] The world witnessed one of the largest lockdowns in the history of mankind ever, spread over months in an attempt to contain the contact spreading of the novel coronavirus induced COVID-19. As billions around the world stood witness to the staggered lockdown measures, a storm brewed up in the urns of the rather hot Bay of Bengal (BoB) in the Indian Ocean realm. When Thailand proposed the name “Amphan” (pronounced as “Um-pun” meaning ‘the sky’), way back in 2004, little did they realize that it was the christening of the 1st super cyclone (Category-5 hurricane) of the century in this region and the strongest on the globe this year. At the peak, Amphan clocked wind speeds of 168 mph (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) with the pressure drop to 925 h.Pa. What started as a depression in the southeast BoB at 00 UTC on 16th May 2020 developed into a Super Cyclone in less than 48 hours and finally made landfall in the evening hours of 20th May 2020 through the Sundarbans between West Bengal and Bangladesh. Did the impact of the COVID-19 induced lockdown drive an otherwise typical pre-monsoon tropical depression into a super cyclone? Global Warming and Tropical Cyclones Tropical cyclones are primarily fueled by the heat released by the oceans.

  • Book Review of Caught: the Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, by Marie Gottschalk
    445 Book Review Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015, pp. 474, $35.00 Cloth; $24.95 Paper. Reviewed by Shon Hopwood Introduction The American criminal justice system is a mess. It criminalizes too much conduct, disproportionately targets the poor and people of color, and overly relies on incarceration. It has become so immense that millions of Americans are starting to feel its squeeze as its grip fails every demographic of America from crime victims and taxpayers to those it convicts. The system desperately needs to be reexamined before an even larger segment of Americans comes to view the rule of criminal law as a rule of oppression. To their credit, academics can lay claim to being among the first to highlight the carceral state and its causes. A deep body of literature now exists on the mass incarceration crisis,1 and Professor Marie Gottschalk has made an important contribution with her book Caught. Whereas others focused on discrete parts of the carceral state, Gottschalk has meticulously detailed all of it—from the political factors that created the American carceral state to those who have profited from it. No stone is unturned in her quest to comprehensively strip our criminal justice problems bare, and she consistently reminds us of their enormity. Her thesis: The carceral state has grown so massive that it has cut off millions from the American Dream, which Gottschalk defines as “the faith that everyone has an inalienable right to freedom, justice, and equal opportunities to get ahead, and that everyone stands equal before the law” (2).
