Active Shooter Threat - What can you and our communities do to stay safe
Description: The US has been failing at Active Shooter response for over 30 years. Because of these failures, we continue to see high victim counts in most attacks. This fast-paced, information-packed presentation includes both a detailed study of the Active Shooter threat and recommendations for how we can reduce victims in future attacks. These recommendations are for individuals and organizations and are based on historical data, math, and logic. It will cover who the attacker is, weapons he uses, usual attack start locations, and the importance of math & time in planning a response.
