Active Shooter Training

About This Event

A training designed to educate our Programs on Active Shooters

Description:

An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined area. Active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly.
