Tabletop Planning for Active Shooter on Campus – On-Demand Training

Preparation & Focus On Situational Awareness, Response & Recovery 

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. Recent incidents of hoaxes in the form of “SWATing”, doxing and falsely reporting an active shooter, have also presented challenges for many institutions.

Most campuses have reacted and responded to the threat of an active shooter, but how do you continue to educate, inform, train and keep your campus community aware of active shooter scenarios? How have protocols and best practices changed and what should you be instituting to ensure you are prepared?

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

Join 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 provide guidance on planning and implementing thorough and detailed campus active shooter drills and tabletop exercises. You’ll gain insight into the three critical phases to manage an active shooter from response and reaction to recovery.

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.
