The Library of Michigan, the Cooperative Director's Association and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services present a collaborative program to help instruct and prepare library staff for a worst case scenario, an Active Shooter situation. This program will be held on April 10 at the Lansing Community College's West Campus. Registration costs for the event is only $45 for Michigan library staff and includes lunch with your colleagues. The event will begin with a morning session consisting of training from the Michigan State Police about personal safety and developing an Active Shooter policy and procedures. After lunch attendees will hear from a panel made up of library staff members with experience dealing with violence in their workplaces and/or undergone Active Shooter training in their library as well as an expert on school shootings. The concluding session will be by Mark Alley, former Lansing Police Chief and current Senior Director of Global Protective Services and Public Affairs at Emergent BioSolutions.
