Description

The description of the event.

From the location and structure of your library facilities, the interior arrangements and sight lines, to placement of staff, security begins with reviewing your space and reconsidering your options and continues with building staff awareness and being prepared. Bring photos and maps of your library for specific advice in this session from the professionals. The session will move on to discuss policies and procedures for maintaining a secure facility without impinging on personal rights, strategies for de-escalation when a tense situation occurs, and how to get and maintain a productive relationship with your local law enforcement. Montana is changing, and Officer Keightley will share some information about lawless trends in the Treasure State as well. This session is intended to be audience-driven and you will be asked for questions in advance, Q & A most welcome.

Outcomes:

  • Evaluate your library space and identify structural changes that will improve safety and security for people in the library
  • Implement appropriate changes in policies or procedures at your library to enhance safety
  • Implement training of library staff and volunteers on how to identify, respond, and de-escalate a threat
