OVERVIEW
This program will focus on the fundamental concepts, principles, and technical aspects of the law enforcement professionals’ response to an active shooter/hostile threat event including the critically important practices of effectively integrating first responder resources during these increasingly common events. Detailed use of past events as well as statistical data will be utilized as building blocks via lessons learned. Additionally, this program will include the most commonly accepted definitions of an active shooter/ hostile threat events, officer movement and contact principles, performance under stress, blue on blue situation prevention, communication strategies, a tactical medicine overview, and more .
Virtually everyone in the law enforcement community agrees that first responders at an active shooter/threat event face one of the most worst-case scenarios imaginable, one in which they usually have never trained together or may even be alone, may have no real formal tactical or hostage rescue tactics training, they probably have little to no intelligence about the suspect(s), the victims, location blueprint or floor plans, number or kinds of weapons involved, may possess very little or no specialized equipment (breaching tools, diversion devices, search cameras, and in some cases long guns, etc.) all combining to make responding to one of these events one of the most stressful and difficult situations law enforcement, and first responders, can ever face.
Since the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School shooting the response by law enforcement and all first responders has changed from one of waiting for specialized units such as SWAT to arrive and resolve the situation to one of requiring the first responding officer(s) to take immediate action to stop the killing and dying by locating and neutralizing the threat. This goal will be this program’s primary objective.
In addition, we will discuss concepts, tactics and ideas that we as law enforcement professionals can share with our family, friends, loved ones, and the community to assist everyone in being safer during one of today’s ever-increasing threats to personal safety.
