THE FASTEST, STRONGEST, SAFEST, AND MOST AFFORDABLE WAYS TO SECURE YOUR CLASSROOM, WORKPLACE, OR WORSHIP SPACE WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO ESCAPE
How the Bearacade Works.
As an Automated External Defibrillator is to sudden cardiac arrest, a Fire Extinguisher is to fire, and an EpiPen® is to dangerous allergic reactions, Bearacade® is the civilian response to a hostile intruder before professional safety forces arrive when there is no option to escape!
Storage:
- TIME is of the essence! The Bearacade units should be consistently placed throughout a building or campus adjacent to the intended door. The units are typically hung on the wall with our L-shaped wall hanger hooks that allow for quick removal.
- When a hostile intruder event occurs and you must shelter in place, the first motion of the teacher, or room occupants should be toward the door to deploy the Bearacade. Finding the device should not be a problem. There should be not frantic searching.
- Since the history of these bad events demonstrate the need to shelter in place in rooms that are not someone’s normal office or classroom, the locating of a device should be consistent throughout a building or campus. Individuals may be heading toward lunch, recess, a classroom change, bathroom, or office visit. The nearest protection area could be any classroom, office, or even a large storage closet.
Introduction:
- Having students and employees show up one day with the devices in place without training is not recommended.
- All faculty and staff should attend a thorough RESIST10, onsite, Training session to understand the storage, handling and deployment of the units.
- Take time to introduce the units to a classroom. Pass it around. Have anyone who wants to touch or handle it have that opportunity. Answer questions. Discuss the serious nature of the unit.
- Then, place it on the wall with an emphasis on the penalties for misuse, tampering, or touching the unit without permission.
- Incorporate our recommended Code of Conduct or Handbook language into your student, family, and employee handbooks.
Deployment:
- When a hostile intruder event or lockdown is initiated, and there is no means to escape, the first movement of the Adult Supervisor in Charge (or trained additional persons) should be to rapidly deploy the unit. All other occupants of the room should move away from the door and to an area of cover and concealment as trainined in the RESIST10 Active Shooter Option Based Survival training method.
- Avoid noise or any disturbances. Silence cell phones. Listen and plan for next steps.
- Next steps may be to esacape/evacuate via a window or outside door. Follow the RESIST10 Active Shooter Option Based Survival training method.
Deactivation:
- Since the situation may be quite fluid, be prepared to switch from shelter to evacuation quickly.
- Deactivating Bearacade units is simply pulling the pin. The unit is designed to glide with the door. No need to do anything else with the unit.
- The systematic clearing of a building can take hours. For recommended clearing and deactivation suggestions, please contact us directly. For safety reasons, we do not detail this in a public or on social media. Your RESIST10 trainer will discuss the methods.
