"Active Shooter / Armed Attackers: Stopping Them Before They Get To Your Campus"
A 60-minute webinar (live and recorded) in a new PD.live series with Dr. Steve Albrecht, held on Thursday, April 25th, 2019, at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
DESCRIPTION: Cases of school violence involving armed perpetrators are both rare and catastrophic. Despite what the news media says, these events are not predictable, but they can be prevented, using threat assessment protocols. Recent attacks have heightened the awareness of the need for all school employees to follow the suggested DHS response: Run-Hide-Fight. Since all school staff are in charge of their own security, they need to know what to do, what not to do, and how to protect themselves, their co-workers, and their students before, during, and these life-changing events.
