School Police Emergency Action Response (SPEAR)

SPEAR is a program that designs and distributes school tactical evacuation plans. It is an effort between the community and police to make schools a safer place for children and staff. SPEAR safety plans prepare police, firefighters, paramedics, and school staff, for violent and hazardous events at or near a school. When attending a school for an emergency, SPEAR may be used for the following reasons:

• Active Shooter
• Aggressive Behaviours
• Bomb threat
• Hazardous threat
• Fire

SPEAR is an ongoing project that will continue to reach new levels of safety.
