Communique, v44 n5 p1, 24-25 Jan-Feb 2016
Shortly after the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six school staff members on December 14, 2012, Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy established the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission to review laws, policies, and practices in place at the time to make recommendations to reduce the probability of another attack. The Commission included 16 subject matter experts in the fields of mental health and mental wellness, secure facility design and operations, law enforcement training and response, and public policy implementation. The Commission's work focused on three areas: (1) Safe School Design and Operations; (2) Law Enforcement, Public Safety; and (3) Emergency Response, and Mental Health and Mental Wellness. This article will focus on the first two areas. The area of Emergency Response, and Mental Health and Wellness will be addressed in a future article.
