ONLINE ACTIVE SHOOTER SITE PREPAREDNESS TRAINING
2024-01-19 12:00 - 13:00 | Online via Zoom
In today’s work environment, staff need to prepare themselves for the possibility of a hostile intruder the same way they would prepare themselves for a fire. Unlike that scenario, where everyone evacuates, an active shooter scenario is much more complex. Basic protocols like Run, Hide, Fight are not enough. Where do you run? Where do you hide? What do you fight with? Join us as we help put staff at ease and explore various options that your organization can pursue to give staff a better sense of what role they can play in saving their lives and the lives of others.
Training Objectives:
o A general understanding of active shooter scenarios
o Knowledge of three response plans and their applicability
o The importance of floor plans
o Staff responses for an active shooter scenario
o Police response for an active shooter scenario
o Education on site security measures and site-specific plans
This training is intended for anyone as it affects everyone-from Administrators, Directors, Supervisors, Managers, Team Leaders, and more.
