Standard Response Protocol (SRP)

ISCRS- Idaho Standard Command Responses for Schools

Logo for Idaho Standard Command Responses For Schools (ISCRS).

The Idaho Standard Command Responses for Schools (ISCRS) provides uniformity of language and universal understanding in times of potential emergencies. Developed in a consortium of Law Enforcement, Fire Department, and School personnel, the ISCRS protocols are designed to provide an initial, immediate school response to an imminent situation. With the goal of creating memorable, trainable actions, the protocols are intended to fit within the unique context and the individual community of a school campus.

Using 4 basic commands, schools can address a wide variety of situations and conditions, instruct staff and students on appropriate actions, and prepare for further responses.
