Lead Simulations and Scenarios to Prepare Your Campus

While most campus police agencies are trained in active shooter response protocols, campus-wide understanding of the challenges, as well as community responses to an active shooter, is typically lacking. With a lack of understanding comes fear, and with fear there is a likelihood that community members will not react in ways that will protect their lives. 

You must continually work to keep fear to a minimum and confidence high should chaos erupt on your campus.

You’ll gain insight into the three critical phases to manage an active shooter from response and reaction to recovery. Instill confidence that your campus will be prepared should the unthinkable occur.

• Implement proactive strategies for engaging the community regarding preparation for terrorist acts of violence and active killers on campus.
