NC Critical Incident Response Kit Project
linescirk logo
The 1999 Governor's Task Force on Youth Violence and School Safety recommended that "every school should be given the tools needed to develop and implement stronger school safety plans" and further that schools should "share their plans and coordinate closely with the appropriate crisis response agencies . . . to ensure that strong communication and rapid response [are] established a the local level in the event of emergencies."

North Carolina's Attorney General Roy Cooper, the Center for the Prevention of School Violence in North Carolina's Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction began in early 2000 to generate such tools and promote such collaboration. The Critical Incident Response Kit project offers an approach which enables schools and communities to be "at the ready" should an incident take place.

Highlighting a collaborative approach to incident response involving schools, law enforcement, and emergency responders, the project, supported by funding from North Carolina's Governor's Crime Commission, offers information and materials for critical incident response. The information is available through a booklet and a video. Materials that each public school in North Carolina is receiving, in addition to the booklet and video, are a plastic kit box donated by Lowes Companies, Inc., stickers for organizing information, and, if in an ALLTEL calling area, a cell phone.

Technical assistance ranging from two-day multi-hazard training to customized individual school training will be available from the Attorney General's Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety - Emergency Management Division, and the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention - Center for the Prevention of School Violence, to support implementation of the kit.
