Keep Fear & Chaos to a Minimum

Instill confidence that your campus will be ready should the unthinkable occur. 

What are you doing to prepare your campus for the possibility of an active shooter incident? Unfortunately, gun violence regularly haunts campuses and training for how to respond should a shooting occur is critical.

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. 

Plan and implement thorough and detailed campus active shooter drills and tabletop exercises based on building understanding, resiliency and an ability to act – you’ll gain insight into the three critical phases to manage an active shooter from response and reaction to recovery.

Join your colleagues from across the country on May 10, 2023 when our expert presenter - Tony Callisto, recently retired Senior Vice President for Safety & Chief Law Enforcement Officer for Syracuse University and the principal consultant with Callisto Consulting – will guide you through this critical safety topic and tabletop exercise from planning, materials needed, resources to include, decision matrix to post tabletop evaluation and after-action report.

You’ll gain strategies for planning an effective tabletop exercise that is realistic, timely and relevant so you can proficiently facilitate and host active shooter tabletop trainings for key constituents from on- and off-campus.

Topics Covered

As a result of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Implement proactive strategies for engaging the community regarding the phases of active shooters on campus – educate the entire campus community on situational awareness, response and reaction protocols and ultimately recovery from an active shooter incident.
• Develop basic plans for the phases of active shooter tabletop training – from pre-event communication, scenarios development, to post event evaluation – ensure participants are informed, engaged and leave with confidence and response acumen.
• Plan for an all-hazards approach plan for crisis response that involves advanced planning with local emergency management, police and other first responders – make sure the first time responding leaders from on and off campus meet isn’t during the time of an actual active crisis.
• Plan and implement thorough and detailed campus active shooter drills and tabletop exercises based on building understanding, resiliency and an ability to act – prepare and train your campus for the worst before it becomes a reality.
