JS Security Implementing the new Security Mandate

Jul 13, 2023


As part of the government's continuous efforts to provide safety for students and teachers, this order emphasizes transparency and accountability around current school safety planning.


Murfreesboro, Tennessee Jul 12, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - JS SECURITY CONSULTING: LEADING THE WAY IN IMPLEMENTING GOVERNOR LEE'S NEW MANDATE

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee's Executive Order 97 calls for mandatory training for all armed school security guards. Part of a larger group of initiatives to enhance school safety, the order is an important step to ensure that security guards stay active and take proactive measures to secure children and teachers during school shootings.

JS Security Consulting offers a comprehensive active shooter training course based on the famous A.L.I.V.E. program. A.L.I.V.E. stands for Assess, Leave, Impede, Violence, and Expose. Armed school security guards who undergo this specialized course can enhance their skills to respond more effectively during active shooter situations.

According to Executive Order 97, security personnel at schools are required to undergo an 8-hour active shooter certification class every year. The order is effective from 1 July 2023. It would be a Class A misdemeanor for an armed security guard providing patrol or security services in or at a public school, a public charter school, or a church-related school to not undergo the training.

Whether they're directly employed by the school or are contracted through a security services company, the training is mandatory for all armed security guards employed at the above-mentioned schools. The move is aimed at not only strengthening physical security at schools but also implementing a more effective and practical approach to school security.

JS Security Consulting: Leading the Way in Enhancing School Security

The in-person active shooter training course needs to be completed under a state-certified trainer or any group, organization, or individual approved by the department. JS Security Consulting, led by our founder Jamie Johnson, is an approved consultancy that offers this mandatory training.

At JS Security, we've always believed that the first individuals to respond to an active shooting, such as security guards, need enhanced training. Mere monitoring and patrolling skills won't be sufficient in such scenarios. What's needed is domain-specific insights that can bring about quick and demonstrable differences.

As Nashville's top-rated local security provider, we believe that Governor Lee's order will not just improve school security but also bring uniformity to the training of armed security guards. With active shooter training from experienced professionals, security guards will have a functional protocol with a series of steps they can take. By removing the need for ad hoc decisions, the training helps guards avoid confusion and brings greater clarity, cohesiveness, and focus to their responses.

A.L.I.V.E. Active Shooter Training From JS Security

JS Security offers a comprehensive active shooter training course based on the highly effective A.L.I.V.E. program. Developed by Michael Julian, CPI, PPS, and CSP, the program offers a set of simple, actionable, and tested tools to help individuals prepare themselves.

The program empowers individuals with a security and battle mindset to fight their fears. This helps people objectively analyze the situation and take appropriate measures to secure their lives. Uber, Neuralink, DMG, ASIS International, Harbor Division, Michigan State University, Encompass Health, and the U.S. Army are some of the organizations that use the A.L.I.V.E. program to enhance their security.

Jamie Johnson, founder of JS Security with over 30 years of law enforcement experience, is a certified A.L.I.V.E. instructor and has been a partner of Julian for over two years. With over three decades of experience in law enforcement, Jamie is committed to improving safety and security measures in schools to protect children and staff.

What makes JS Security the ideal partner for the active shooter training program is that we use security insights from multiple sectors to deepen our understanding and refine our tactics. Since we offer security guards, property surveillance, and other superior security services, we're in a unique position to understand a wide range of security threats and the need for domain-specific remedial measures.

Jamie believes that ongoing training is necessary to maximize the safety of people, organizations, and their assets. Constantly incorporating new learnings and methodologies is the most effective way to boost security. That explains why leading corporations trust JS Security for their security needs. Our highly qualified team helps organizations protect themselves and their employees from theft and other criminal acts.

Jamie's law enforcement experience, proficiency with the A.L.I.V.E. program, knowledge of government requirements, and training expertise make JS Security Consulting the right partner for your school's active shooter training. Register for the course and take a significant and impactful step to improve your school's safety.

Soft tennis team bags PH’s 1st medal in Asiad

Soft tennis team bags PH’s 1st medal in Asiad

THE Philippines took its first 20th Asian Games medal after the national women's soft tennis team claimed a bronze medal at the Nagoya City Higashiyama Park Tennis Center Sunday. The Filipino netters suffered an 0-2 loss to the Japanese but claimed the bronze anyway as semifinalists. Bien Zoleta, Princess Catinding, Christy Sanosa, Hilary Paas, and Shyryn Salazar thus gave the Philippines its first-ever soft tennis Asian Games medal since the sport made it debut at the 1994 edition of the meet in Hiroshima. Zoleta and Catindig fell to Rena Temma and Kiho Miyamae, 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-0, 4-1, and Sanosa yielded to Ayaka Iwakura, 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-2, 4-0. The Philippine team finished in top two of Group B for the semifinal entry and that guaranteed bronze medal finish. The Philippines defeated Mongolia, 3-0, and Thailand, 2-1, before taking a 0-3 loss to Taiwan in the preliminaries. "We're so happy because this is a very historic win for us in Philippine soft tennis. This is the first time we've had a podium finish since 1994. We're extremely glad that we won a medal for our country," team captain Bien Zoleta told POC Media. "This [medal] is what we dream of in soft tennis. This is our Olympics, so winning a medal here is a huge deal for us," she added. Zoleta could not help but get emotional reflecting on their achievement as a team. "This isn't just for us, it's for the Philippines—especially since we turned out to be the first to bring home a medal. So I hope this boosts the morale of the other national athletes competing today, tomorrow, and in the coming days, because you all know how hard we worked to win this, especially at the Asian Games," she shared. Here is the English translation for this section: Despite the loss, the home crowd applauded the Philippine team for their effort against the defending champions. For Zoleta, a longtime soft tennis national athlete, she believes the Asiad bronze will pave the way for more players from the Philippines. "I know that because of the bronze medal produced by the entire Philippine soft tennis team, many doors will open for us. And not just for us, but for the soft tennis community — plus even more people will appreciate it and build soft tennis programs in the Philippines," Zoleta said. Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Patrick Gregorio personally watched the match and congratulated the team. "Long live! This is our first-ever medal in the Asian Games. I really made sure to watch you. I know you can still win more medals. Let's just stay focused. It's really exciting to see this sport," he told POC Media. "This is a sport we can truly develop. It's great that we are here at the Asian Games; let's prepare so we can win more medals... This is a real opportunity to promote the sport," Gregorio added.

McIlroy two shots off lead at Wentworth

VIRGINIA WATER, UK — Rory McIlroy is just two strokes off the lead going into Sunday’s final day of the European Tour’s flagship PGA Championship at Wentworth after finishing his third round with a spectacular eagle. The back-to-back US Masters champion, one of just six golfers to have won all four of the sport’s men’s major titles, posted a three-under par 69 on Saturday to leave him joint-sixth, and one of five players on 11-under. McIlroy was one-over for the day after 11 holes, but the 37-year-old Northern Irishman showed his class with birdies on the 12th and 17th before a superb four-iron approach shot from 230 yards left him with a tap-in for eagle on the last at Wentworth. “I think it was a day when you really had to take advantage of the par-fives; they were your scoring opportunities,” McIlroy told DP World (European) Tour media. He added: “The wind was up and down a little bit, so it was hard to trust that the wind was going to do what you thought it was going to do, but I stayed as patient as I could, and then I feel like that patience was rewarded over those last few holes.” Spain’s Manuel Elvira and Italy’s Filippo Celli lead heading into the final day, both on 13-under, while three others — Alejandro del Rey, JJ Spaun and Johannes Veerman — are 12-under, leaving the fate of the tournament wide open on Sunday. McIlroy is trying to reel in Patrick Reed to win a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title — the competition which crowns the best player on the European Tour — and is also bidding for the second PGA Championship title of his career on a course he knows well. “Look, I’ve got a big opportunity tomorrow (Sunday) on both fronts,” McIlroy said. “I’d love to win this tournament again. It’s been 12 years and I have so many great memories of Wentworth in general. “I came here for the first time, I think, as a 10-year-old, to watch the World Matchplay all the way back in the day ... Fast-forward, I’ve won this event, I’ve played a lot here, we now have a house on the estate as well. “This place has got a lot of history for me, so hopefully I have a good day tomorrow and give myself a real chance at it again."

First Asian Games gold goes to Japan

First Asian Games gold goes to Japan

NAGOYA, Japan — The first gold medal of the 20th Asian Games was won on Sunday by host nation Japan as a 13-year-old swimmer from China started in blistering form on the opening day of the multisports extravaganza. Japan’s Takumi Hojo won the men’s individual triathlon in Gamagori city near Nagoya, with China’s Zhang Xirui second and Kazakhstan’s Arlan Zhanabay taking bronze. It was the first of 469 gold medals to be awarded at a two-week spectacle that has more athletes than the Olympics. Action also began in the swimming pool, where Yu Zidi, who does not turn 14 until next month, was fastest by far in the women’s 200m butterfly heats. Teenager Yu was almost 2.70 seconds quicker than compatriot Chang Mohan and will be a hot favorite to take her first major gold in Sunday evening’s final. The Games were officially declared open on Saturday by Japan’s Emperor Naruhito, but there were a large number of empty seats at the 30,000-capacity stadium in Nagoya. It sounded the starting pistol on two weeks of intense action as the continent’s finest athletes compete in more than 40 sports before the curtain comes down on Oct. 4. The event in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture has 2028 Olympics places up for grabs but has been dogged by a series of problems in the build-up. Accommodating more than 11,000 athletes and 6,000 officials has stretched organizers to the limit after they decided not to have a traditional athletes’ village to save money. Competitors instead are staying in a combination of temporary container-style huts, hotels and the cruise ship Costa Serena. There was a record deluge last week, which flooded parts of Nagoya and a typhoon is due to skirt the area on Sunday night, threatening further disruption. Some athletes were left stranded at the airport when transport failed to turn up and several teams have complained about the quality of the huts, including the beds being too short. And Games organizers were forced to offer “deepest apologies” after North Korea’s national anthem was played on Friday for South Korea’s men’s hockey team before a preliminary match.
