The State of Indiana requires each school corporation in the state to have at least one certified school safety specialist. Crown Point Community School Corporation employs 14 certified specialists. To become certified, a safety specialist must complete a rigorous five-day basic training conducted by national school safety experts in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Education. To maintain certification, each specialist must attend two days of training each school year. Trainings are based on national best practices in school safety and security.

Crown Point Community School Corporation utilizes A.L.I.C.E safety training. A.L.I.C.E. is a federally endorsed protocol that trains teachers and students to respond to a situation based on what’s happening around them. All CPCSC staff are trained in ALICE protocols.

The ALICE training for elementary schools is designed to prepare children for unsafe situations in comfortable, colorful language that takes their youth into consideration.

You can find more information about ALICE, including resources on how to talk to your children at home, on the ALICE website.

Indiana Code requires each school to conduct monthly fire drills, one severe weather drill per semester, and one man-made occurrence drill per semester.
