    What to consider when choosing the most effective active shooter response training

    Active shooter training for businesses is designed to help employees learn about the dangers of workplace violence, specifically active shooter situations, and prepare them to respond safely and effectively in the event of such an incident. This training is essential for organizations because it helps to:
    • Protect employees: Training equips employees with the knowledge and skills they need to recognize potential threats, respond appropriately, and protect themselves and others in a dangerous situation.
    • Reduce the risk of injury: Active shooter training can help to minimize the potential for injury or death by empowering employees to react quickly and effectively.
    • Create a sense of preparedness: Training helps to create a sense of preparedness and confidence among employees, which can help to reduce fear and anxiety in the event of a real emergency.

    Active shooter response training is crucial for all organizations, regardless of size or industry. It's a proactive measure that helps to:
    • Empower employees: Training provides employees with the information and skills they need to act quickly and confidently in the event of a real-life active shooter situation.
    • Strengthen your organization's emergency plan: Active shooter training helps to integrate into and strengthen your existing emergency plan, providing employees with clear guidance and procedures.
    • Build a culture of safety: Training reinforces a culture of safety and preparedness within your workplace.

    The FBI recommends the "Run, Hide, Fight" response method for active shooter situations. Here's how to respond:
    • Run: If possible, evacuate the area quickly and safely.
    • Hide: If evacuation isn't possible, find a safe place to hide and lock or barricade the door.
    • Fight: As a last resort, if you are unable to run or hide, fight back against the attacker to defend yourself and others.

    Here are some tips for hiding safely:
    • Choose a safe location: Select a place that is difficult to access and offers some protection.
    • Lock or barricade the door: Use any available means to secure the space.
    • Turn off the lights: Minimize your visibility.
    • Stay silent: Avoid making noise that could attract the attacker.

    If you encounter law enforcement officers during an active shooter event, it's essential to:
    • Follow their instructions: Law enforcement officers will likely be armed and moving quickly. It's essential to follow their commands and to stay calm.
    • Keep your hands visible: Avoid sudden movements that could be misinterpreted.
    • Identify yourself: Let officers know that you are a member of the organization and that you are not a threat.
    • Provide information: If possible, provide officers with information about the shooter's location, their appearance, or any other relevant details.
