Design/Methods/ Approach: Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training ALLERT, created by Texas State University in 2002 following an active-shooter event at Columbine High School in 1999. The training was soon introduced for a variety of agencies and institutions in the USA, and for the training of civilians it was also adapted in the Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events CRASE programme. Findings: The ALERRT programme was recently introduced in the three countries, with the subsequent training of certified trainers allowing the CRASE programme to also be taught within local educational institutions, the majority of which are woefully underequipped and undertrained with respect to the types of violent events they refer to. Adaptions made to both types of training in the region include enhanced first-aid/casualty evacuation modules, situational awareness, f irst response, incident command, and communication strategies. A particularly beneficial outcome of the programme’s acceptance and implementation is the building of trust and interdependency among the educational institutions, law enforcement, and emergency medical care facilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Practical implications/Value: The findings are relevant because of the CRASE programme implementation by selected high schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is to be introduced to schools in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and North MacedoniaNamen: Zaradi niza množičnih streljanj/napadov z aktivnim strelcem, ki so se zgodili v javnih šolah v Srbiji, na Hrvaškem in v Bosni in Hercegovini, so morali pristojni pohiteti z uvedbo novih strategij in postopkov za preprečevanje takšnih incidentov. Zasnova: Program Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training ALLERT državne univerze v Teksasu, ustanovljen leta 2002 po dogodku z aktivnim strelcem na srednji šoli Columbine leta 1999, se je hitro razširil na številne agencije in institucije v ZDA, prilagojen pa je bil tudi za usposabljanje civilistov prek programa Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events CRASE. Ugotovitve: Nedavna uvedba programa ALERRT in posledično usposabljanje certificiranih inštruktorjev sta omogočila možnost izvajanja programa CRASE v lokalnih izobraževalnih ustanovah, od katerih je večina žal premalo opremljena in usposobljena za soočanje s tovrstnimi izrednimi dogodki. Oba programa, ALERRT in CRASE, sta v regiji prilagojena tako, da vključujeta izboljšane module prve pomoči evakuacije poškodovancev, situacijsko ozaveščenost, takojšnji odziv, vodenje v času incidentov in komunikacijske strategije. Pozitiven rezultat sprejetja in izvajanja programa je krepitev zaupanja in medsebojne odvisnosti med izobraževalnimi institucijami, organi pregona in službami nujne medicinske pomoči v Bosni in Hercegovini. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Program CRASE se trenutno izvaja v izbranih srednjih šolah v Bosni in Hercegovini ter uvaja v srednje šole na Hrvaškem, v Srbiji, Črni gori in Severni MakedonijiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Fakulteta za varnostne vede
