School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management

Train Schools and Responders as One Team in 2 Days

Most school incidents break down because schools and responders train separately. SSAVEIM™ Train-the-Trainer is a two‑day course that certifies your own local trainers to deliver a unified violent event incident and reunification playbook for school staff, law enforcement, fire/EMS, and emergency management.

Why SSAVEIM

One Team. One Incident Plan. Trained and Ready.

The goal is simple. Decrease the time to neutralize the threat, get injured to a hospital, and reunite students with their families. SSAVEIM brings school leaders, law enforcement, fire/EMS, and emergency management into the same room, on the same plan.

Unify Everyone

Train school staff, law enforcement, fire/EMS, and emergency management together on a single, integrated school incident playbook, including reunification.

Train Locally

Your trainers keep the curriculum, checklists, and LMS access so you can teach SSAVEIM on your schedule, as often as you need.

Train With Confidence

Shared training, clear roles, and course certificates help schools and responders show they’ve trained together on the same plan.

Schools and first responders can’t afford to meet for the first time during a crisis.
The Course

Build One Joint Team and One Shared Incident Playbook

A 16-hour course for up to 30 trainer candidates: ideally 10 law enforcement, 10 fire/EMS, and 10 school staff. The lecture now lives in SSAVEIM Foundations, our free self-paced course, so day one is the class itself, scenarios included, with your trainers working it as students. Day two is where they teach that class and run those scenarios themselves, and they leave ready to repeat the training locally.

1

Day 1: Experience the Class

Your trainers work through SSAVEIM the way their own people will, running the scenarios as students.

2

Day 2: Learn to Teach It

Your trainers teach the class and run its scenarios within their own group, so they leave ready to deliver it locally.

The Experience

What Happens in the Room

This course provides you with the experience and confidence to respond to a violent event, regardless of your daily responsibilities. Participants are trained to secure the students, identify the threat, provide medical intervention, and reunify students with their loved ones.

School staff and responders working a SSAVEIM reunification exercise

Lockdown, Response, Reunification, In That Order

The course walks the whole room through a violent attack from start to finish. Lockdown, then the public safety response, then reunification. Every block includes an exercise.

Violent Event Reunification Is Its Own Problem

After a violent attack, the school is a crime scene, so reunification has to happen somewhere else. Moving students to an offsite location, securing it, and getting families to the right place. This course does it hands on, with responders in the room.

School Staff and Responders Train Side by Side

School personnel work alongside law enforcement, fire/EMS, dispatch, PIO, and emergency management, rotating through roles so your team meets and trains together before a crisis, not during one.

No-Fault, No-Embarrassment Coaching

Instructors utilize a no-fault, no-embarrassment coaching style, providing hands-on experience for entry level and executives alike.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSAVEIM and SSAVEIM Train-the-Trainer?
SSAVEIM Train-the-Trainer is the 2-day / 16-hour format that prepares up to 30 trainer candidates to deliver SSAVEIM. Day one is the class itself, scenarios included, and day two is teaching that class and its scenarios within their own group, so candidates can demonstrate the material and become certified to deliver the 1-day / 8-hour SSAVEIM course locally.
Who should we select as SSAVEIM trainer candidates?
Select up to 30 candidates, ideally 10 law enforcement, 10 fire/EMS, and 10 school staff, who already have a role in training, school safety, or emergency planning. They should be comfortable leading groups and working with mixed audiences.
Do trainer candidates need to take SSAVEIM Foundations first?
Yes. SSAVEIM Foundations is a free, self-paced online course that covers the lecture material. Candidates complete it beforehand. That way everyone starts on the same page, and day one begins with the class rather than the lecture. Registration tracks who has finished and sends reminders to anyone who has not.
How does SSAVEIM relate to the “I Love U Guys” Foundation?
We partner with The “I Love U Guys” Foundation to combine their research-based best practices, created by school administrators, psychologists, public space safety experts and families, with our decades of first-hand experience as first responders. Together, we’ve created a life-saving curriculum to provide a hands-on training approach to School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management.
Will SSAVEIM work alongside our existing SRP/SRM or district safety plan?
Yes. SSAVEIM is built in partnership with The “I Love U Guys” Foundation and follows their Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and Standard Reunification Method (SRM) alongside NIMS and the ASIM Checklist™. The Foundation’s programs cover the full range of school responses and every kind of non-violent reunification. SSAVEIM covers the one part that sits outside them: the violent event. Lockdown, the public safety response, and violent-event reunification. It complements and strengthens your existing plans rather than replacing them.
Is this appropriate for all school staff?
Absolutely. The course is designed for all school staff, from administrators to support staff, alongside emergency responders. Instructors use a no-fault, no-embarrassment coaching style so every participant builds confidence regardless of their background or experience level.
How long do trainers stay certified? Are there ongoing fees?
Once certified, your trainers receive a 3-year SSAVEIM Train-the-Trainer certificate. During that period, they can deliver SSAVEIM locally as often as needed with no per-delivery fee from NCIER. They keep the full curriculum, checklists, and LMS access to run the course on your schedule.
What do trainers keep after the course?
Your trainers keep the curriculum, ASIM Checklists, LMS access, and their certificate so you can repeat training locally on your schedule.
How many people can attend a SSAVEIM Train-the-Trainer delivery?
A SSAVEIM Train-the-Trainer delivery accommodates up to 30 trainer candidates: ideally 10 law enforcement, 10 fire/EMS, and 10 school staff. Both days train this group of candidates; there is no separate participant group.
What does the host need to provide?
Hosts provide a suitable training space, basic AV, and participants from school(s) and local responder agencies. NCIER brings the SSAVEIM curriculum, Counterstrike Terrain™ for in-course exercises, instructor team, and supporting materials.
