Emergency preparedness is the shared responsibility of all campus and community members. K-State offers the following training opportunities to help prepare individuals for potential emergency situations.
ALICE training
Offered by the K-State Police Department ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, training teaches participants what to do in the event of a violent intruder situation. ALICE is an options based response that allows people in a crisis situation to use the information they have to take proactive steps to save their lives. Open enrollment ALICE training sessions are offered regularly on campus or can be scheduled for a class, group, or department. Trainings are posted in HRIS when available. K-Staters can also watch a short video that highlights the ALICE strategies on the ALICE trainingpage. For more information on scheduling ALICE training contact Sgt. Chad Jager with the K-State Police Department at 785-532-1132 or cwj7667@k-state.edu.
Stop the Bleed training
No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care. According to a recent National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46. Stop the Bleed training teaches proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use your hands, dressings and tourniquets to save someone’s life or your own. The K-State Police Department regularly offers open enrollment classes on campus. Trainings are posted in HRIS when available. Stop the Bleed training can also be scheduled for specific groups or departments. Contact Sgt. Chad Jager with the K-State Police Department at 785-532-1132 or cwj7667@k-state.edu for more information on Stop the Bleed training.
K-State also has co-located at least one bleeding control kit with each publicly available automated external defibrillator on campus. You can locate AEDs via the safety map in the LiveSafe app.
First Aid training
