http://www.bradycenter.com/ler/index.asp

Extractions: Working with Law Enforcement in the Fight for a Safer America The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and its sister organization, The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence have worked closely with law enforcement for the past 25 years to reduce gun related injuries and deaths in America. The Brady Campaign was founded in 1974 as Handgun Control. Since 1983, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence has worked closely with law enforcement to educate the general public about the issues surrounding gun violence in the United States. In 2001, Law Enforcement Relations staff was proud to announce a new beginning in the fight for a safer America with the introduction of our new names: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The LER staff continues its commitment to support law enforcement in its goal of protecting American communities from gun violence. America's law enforcement knows the importance of common sense gun legislation that is designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands (violent criminals, felons and children) combined with laws that are strong and enforceable. The new Brady organizations agree that the laws that exist today should be enforced. Unfortunately because of the many loopholes in our laws, prosecutors are reluctant to take criminal cases into the courtroom, knowing they will never make it through the rigors of trial.

http://www.metrokc.gov/health/injiviol.htm

Extractions: Traffic Safety Our programs operate from the premise that injuries are not accidents; they are predictable and, therefore, preventable . For example, when an alcohol- or drug-impaired driver gets into a car and drives, it is not an accident if someone is injured or killed. When a young child finds an unlocked, loaded firearm at home, it is not an accident if someone is injured or killed. Nor is it an accident when a small child falls into the water from a boat and drowns because he or she is not wearing a lifejacket. Unfortunately, these are predictable events borne out soberly by the data, not unlikely accidents that occur merely by chance. Traffic Safety In King County, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death of people aged 1 - 44 years. Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes play the major role in these deaths. When an alcohol- or drug-impaired driver gets into a car and drives, it is not an accident if a crash occurs. Because crashes are predictable, they are preventable. Research and practice have shown that when alcohol and driving are combined, then judgment, reflexes, and timing are impaired, and crashes are likely. The Public Health Response Because driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs (DUI) causes injuries and deaths and exacts heavy tolls on our health care system, it is a public health issue, as well as a criminal justice issue, an engineering issue, and so on. Local health resources needed to respond to crashes include

Workplace violence can affect or involve employees, visitors, contractors, and other non-Federal employees. However, there is no sure way to predict human behavior and, while there may be warning signs, there is no specific profile of a potentially dangerous individual. The best prevention comes from identifying any problems early and dealing with them. Each USDA agency has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in place which serves as an excellent, confidential resource available to all employees to help them identify and deal with problems. top of page It is up to each employee to help make USDA a safe workplace for all of us.

State, Supreme Court of Georgia, No. S02P1377 (2003) After an evening of drinking, Lawler and his girlfriend were walking home from a bar when a bystander saw Lawler striking his girlfriend. The bystander drove to a nearby police station and informed the police. Acting on this information, Officers Cocciolone and Sowa responded to Lawlers residence. There, Lawler opened the door and threatened the officers. Officer Sowa tried to push the door open, but, in response, Lawler grabbed an AR-15 rifle and opened fire on the officers. Officer Sowa was shot and killed at the scene, and Officer Cocciolone suffered severe injuries. Six hours later, after Lawler surrendered, the SWAT team swept Lawlers apartment without a warrant, discovering evidence linking him to the crimes. The court concluded that the SWAT team was justified under exigent circumstances to seize all evidence in plain view, even without a warrant, and even though Lawler had been apprehended.

Extractions: SafeUSA TM Home School Community Move ... Contact Us Preventing Youth Violence Violence is a learned behavior that can be changed. Parents, students, and school officials can take steps toward reducing violence in schools by responding to children's emotional and psychological needs and by implementing violence prevention programs. Safety Tips Preventing Youth Violence To help prevent violence in schools, follow these tips adapted from the American Psychological Association's Teach Children to Resist Violence and from the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice's A Guide for Safe Schools: Early Warning, Timely Response. For Parents: Give your children consistent love and attention. Every child needs a strong, loving, relationship with a parent or other adult to feel safe and secure and to develop a sense of trust. Children learn by example, so show your children appropriate behavior by the way you act. Settle arguments with calm words, not with yelling, hitting, slapping, or spanking. If you punish children by hitting, slapping, or spanking them, you are showing them that it is okay to hit others.

Brief descriptions of each amici is provided in the Appendix. INTRODUCTION ARGUMENT The significance of the trial court's decision is not limited to this particular case. The trial court's shifting of liability - if permitted - will be repeated in every case involving the duty to protect, since the duty to protect is only implicated in cases where intervening tortfeasors have succeeded in their attempts to harm the person cooperating with the police. In each of these cases, courts and juries will have the opportunity, if not the obligation, to apportion liability to the intervening tortfeasors and thereby shift liability away from negligent public officials, exactly the way the trial court has done in this case. By allowing the trial court's apportionment of damages to stand, this Court will substantially undermine the effectiveness of the duty to protect for all future cases.

Links to Safe Schools Resources School safety: resources for educators, parents and students The tragic events in Colorado emphasize the need for educators, parents and students to communicate effectively about school safety issues. Violent, emotionally charged problems that originate in the home and the community sometimes spill over into very "public" places like schools, churches or shopping malls. Although South Carolina schools already have security measures and training programs in place (descriptions appear below), the key to stopping violent episodes is early intervention. In their efforts to reduce disruption, violence, and crime, South Carolina schools use a wide variety of strategies and approaches:

Extractions: Intentional or unintentional injury is the single greatest cause of death and hospitalization for children and adolescents in the United States. Injuries not only disrupt and destroy the lives of individuals, but also harm communities and nations as a whole. Violence and injuries typically affect the age groups about to be the most productive in society. The economic toll is enormous. Given that a science of injury prevention does exist, the challenge lies in getting this knowledge out to communities so that various agencies and government sectors can use what is known to devise their own injury prevention strategies. Mission The mission of the center is to reduce intentional and unintentional injuries in our homes, schools, and communities and in society at large by working across sectors with education, public and mental health, criminal justice, child and family services, and health care together to devise prevention and intervention strategies. In the area of intentional injuries, the center addresses youth violence, domestic violence, hate crime, and suicide prevention. Unintentional injuries include motor vehicle-related injuries, falls, burns, drownings, and workplace injuries.
