According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, an active shooter is “”an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.”” A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) study identified 250 active shooter incidents in the U.S. from 2000 – 2017 that killed or wounded a total of 2,217 people. Almost half (42%) of all incidents occurred in areas of commerce. And the majority of incidents ended before law enforcement arrived. To help prevent loss of human life in an active shooting incident, companies and individual employees must take steps to plan and prepare for these types of events.
This training is designed to help learners anticipate and recognize an active shooter/active threat situation and respond appropriately and immediately if they are ever faced with one. Specifically, it covers the warning signs of workplace violence, how to recognize the presence of an active threat, the best training of action to take based on individual abilities and location, and the steps individuals should follow when law enforcement arrives.
After completing this training, learners will be able to:
– Describe warning signs of potential workplace violence
– Discuss how to properly prepare yourself for an active threat situation
– Recognize signs that an active threat is near
– Identify the best training of action to take if confronted with an active shooter (avoid the shooter, deny the shooter’s access to you, defend yourself) and execute the plan
– Explain what to do when police arrive on the scene
