Active Shooter Training Seminar

Description

Is your small business prepared in the event of an active shooter? In 2014 the Federal Bureau of Investigation initiated a study of active shooter incidents during a 14-year period to provide federal, state, local, campus and tribal law enforcement  with accurate data to better understand how to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from these incidents. Join us with our presenter, retired Chief Ken Super of the Cape May County Prosecutors Office, as we discuss the changing world we live in and how we can better prepare ourselves and our businesses for the reality of an active shooter situation. This free seminar will focus on the best practices to help ensure the safety and survival of yourself, your colleagues and customers. There will also be time for Question & Answer.

• Incidents occurred in 40 of 50 states and the District of Columbia.
• 70% of the incidents occurred in areas of commerce (73, 46%), or education (39, 24%).
• 60% of the incidents ended before police arrived.
• In 64 incidents, where the duration of incident could be ascertained, 44 (69%) ended in 5 minutes or less, with 23 ending in 2 minutes or less.
• 64 (40%) incidents fell within the parameters of the federal definition of "mass killing" (3 or more killed).
