Cook County sheriff's police were at a Ford Heights school to administer the 'Stop the Bleed' training, aimed at helping prepare teachers for the aftermath of an active shooter.
In the multipurpose room of a Ford Heights school, teachers were practicing applying bright orange tourniquets on their arms and learning how to apply pressure on wounds to stanch the bleeding. It was preparation for an event no schoolteacher or administrator wants to see happen — the possibility of an armed intruder entering the school and opening fire.
Rivers said they make sure everybody is involved in emergency preparedness. The clear plastic backpacks include flashlights, water, small radios, rosters for a teacher’s classroom and a list of activities to keep children busy “in the event they have to relocate for an extended period,” Rivers said. The hostage barricade officers used the “Stop the Bleed” curriculum for teacher training. It’s a course sheriff’s police offer at other school districts in the county.
