Course overview
It’s a situation no one wants to be in. You hear gunshots and realise there’s an active shooter nearby. Someone is armed with a gun and intent on killing people. Do you know what to do? Even though these kinds of incidents are rare, they do happen, and they can be devastating. Organisations must be prepared for active shooter events. If you’re not, it could cost lives. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to get your organisation ready for a potential active-shooter incident. You’ll need to prepare employees to follow the government’s strategy of ‘run, hide, tell’. And it’s useful for everyone to be aware of the armed police response. This course will help guide you, so you can keep everyone safe.
Learning objectives:
- Identify the steps needed to be prepared for an active-shooter attack, so you and your organisation can keep people safe
- Recognise how people react to active-shooter incidents, so you can prepare your employees to capably respond
- Demonstrate the correct use of the ‘run, hide, tell, fight’ strategy to respond effectively to an active-shooter event
- Recognise what to expect from an armed police response to maximise effective cooperation
Why take this course?
We all know that guns are dangerous, yet we see so few of them outside movies that we’d find ourselves at a loss for what to do if there was an active shooter incident nearby. Poor preparation costs lives. If you lead an organisation at risk from potential active shooter incidents, you need to know what to do. This course will show the steps you must take to make sure your organisation is prepared. You’ll also learn about how people react in active-shooter situations, the ‘run, hide, tell, fight’ strategy to stay safe, and what will happen when an armed police unit arrives.
