This is one of the most difficult issues facinglaw enforcement, schools, businesses

There are signs or pre-indicators for potentialviolence when we look back at theseincidents

Just because someone might have some ofthese indicators, it DOES NOT MEAN he/shewill be involved in spree shooting

Procedures

Systems

Training


21/45

Start with a site assessment. Conduct realisticsecurity assessment of facilities and

vulnerabilities Identify multiple evacuation routes under

varying conditions Designate good shelters Designate team leaders Get local law enforcement involved


22/45

POC (Point of Contact) person must haveknowledge of facility and ability to getinformation to liaison with public safety

Procedure for employee screening (backgroundchecks)

Procedure for employees to report unusualbehavior or violent behavior (see something

say something) Procedure for employees who need assistance

(EAP)


23/45

Central Command Station for security andcommand of incident

Notification Procedures Incorporate your active shooter drill into your

facilities emergency preparedness plans

Have a pre-designated counseling company*

*OCE NOTE: Catholic Charities Crisis Teams


24/45

Devise a credential-based access control

system. Alternatively, limit authorized entry

through controlled access points Emergency notification system. This can

include PA system, bullhorn, mass texting,

mass e-mail, alarms, etc

Monitor perimeter and access points. Best ifsomeone is designated to watch cameras from

central security station, if applicable


25/45

Training is the most overlooked area, becauseit takes time away from work that needs to

be done. It also frightens people to thinkabout it. If your personnel are not trained they will not

know what to do if an incident like thisoccurs.

*OCE NOTE: Students below 7-8 grade level, shouldnot be involved in realistic action exercises


26/45

In the early 1900s a school fire took the lives ofchildren and teachers

Legislators implemented building codes and fire drills

Some still didnt listen. In 1950 Our Lady of Angels lost92 children and 3 teachers to fire.

After the Our Lady of the Angels School fire, PercyBugbee, the president of the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA) said in an interview, "There are nonew lessons to be learned from this fire; only oldlessons that tragically went unheeded

(including executiveofficers) drill evacuationsevery three months

All Stanley Morganemployees made it outbefore the towercollapsed


29/45

Train to your Plan

Include public safety in your training

exercises Include staff in your planning

After your drill is over, debrief it to see if there

are any gaps or procedures that need to beclarified


30/45

Active shooter incidents are unpredictable.You must have a survival mindset and have a

basic plan in place During life threatening events the trained will

work through the crisis where an untrained

person might just freeze or take the wrongaction


31/45

Physiologically the human body reacts to life-threatening incidents automatically

Initially we will all be startled The trained person will start to recall what

he/she has learned

The untrained person might freeze or panic

The trained will prepare to act and commit


32/45

Because active shooter incidents are sounpredictable, your plan needs to be basic

and easily adaptable to a dynamicenvironment


33/45

Run, Hide and Fight

Evacuate, Hide out, Take Action

Avert, Defend, Act


34/45

Once you become aware of active shooting:

Figure out where the threat is coming from

and is there an avenue for escape Dont hesitate; do not worry about

belongings; bring others with you if you can

Remember time is critical; the further awaythe safer you will be


35/45

Once you get to a safe area call 911

Give what information you have description, location, weapons

What if you cant escape?


36/45

If you cant get out, find a place to hide

Hopefully, you will have pre-designated areasthat you can use. If you dont do thefollowing:

If the door locks, lock it and try to barricade the

door

If it has windows facing inward try to close blinds.

If no blinds, turn off the lights and get low


37/45

Remain quiet and call 911 if it will not drawthe attention of the shooter

Be prepared to take action if he comes in


38/45

If you cannot escape. Or the shooter iscoming into your hiding space. You only have

one option left FIGHT!

Be committedto this act. Use anythingaround as an improvised weapon

If you have several people with you, come upwith a hasty plan (keep it simple)


39/45


40/45

Police will respond in force for an active shooter

All departments around the nation are trained to

respond directly to this type of threat This means that initial responding officers will

not immediately assist with evacuations or firstaid

Most active shooter incidents last no longer than8 minutes


41/45

Keep your hands visible (everyone isconsidered an unknown until law

enforcement has control of the scene) Do not point objects at officers

Try not to grab them

Try to remain as calm as possible When safe, officers will start first aid


42/45

Depending on the circumstancesevacuations might take some time

Law enforcement will need to verify whoeveryone is and make sure everyone isaccounted for

Help will be needed to make theseverifications


43/45

Your emergency preparedness plans need toaddress the aftermath

Most large companies have a continuitybusiness plan

All employees/students will be affected

differently Having counseling available will be critical for

your staff/students


44/45

It will take time for lawenforcement to processthe scene

You will have familymembers inquiring aboutloved ones

As part of yourpreparedness plan (KIT),you should have contactsfor family members tohelp public safety passalong information


45/45

Active shooter events are unpredictable

Have a plan in place and train your personnel

to that plan Public safety will respond in force, but their

primary objective at first is to stop the

shooter
