Book excerpt: The primary mission of the ISC Active Shooter Working Group is to streamline existing ISC documents on active shooter into one cohesive policy and guidance document that agencies housed in Federal facilities can use as a reference to enhance prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts related to an active shooter incident. The goal of the ISC's Active Shooter Working Group is to promote the highest chance of victim and responder survivability through awareness, prevention, education, and training. This guidance is designed to be applicable to all buildings and facilities in the United States occupied by Federal employees. These include existing buildings, new construction, or major modernizations; facilities owned, or being purchased, or leased; stand-alone facilities; Federal campuses; where appropriate, individual facilities on Federal campuses; and special-use facilities. Due to the nature of an active shooter event, this document contains guidance for all who might be involved, including law enforcement agencies, facility tenants, and the public. Certain responsibilities outlined within this document are specific to designated law enforcement officers or personnel possessing the authority and training to take immediate action to contain, apprehend, or neutralize an active threat. Other sections of this document are meant to educate facility tenants regarding actions they can take to save themselves or others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lessons Learned Information Sharing (LLIS.gov) team analyzed 30 active shooter After Action Reports (AARs) and identified trends in on-site incident management procedures during a response to an active shooter incident. The active shooter AAR research and analysis showed that establishing on-site incident management during an active shooter incident, in order to maintain situational awareness, is an important aspect of the response effort. The analysis across the AARs indicated that the establishment of Incident Command (IC) can affect the following response capabilities: 1) Operational Coordination; 2) Planning; 3) On-Scene Security and Protection; 4) Operation Communication. To assist organizations with addressing the capabilities identified in this document, the LLIS.gov team has provided recommended plans and resources for emergency managers.
Download or read book Incorporating Active Shooter Incident Planning Into Health Care Facility Emergency Operations Plans written by United States. Department of Health and Human Services. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is primarily designed to encourage facilities to consider how to better prepare for an active shooter incident. Though hospitals and many other HCFs have emergency operations plans (EOPs), this document provides emergency planners, disaster committees, executive leadership, and others involved in emergency operations planning with detailed discussions of unique issues faced in an HCF. This document also includes discussions on related topics, including information sharing, psychological first aid (PFA), and law enforcement/security. EOPs for HCFs should be living documents that are routinely reviewed and consider all types of hazards, including the possibility of an active shooter or terrorist incident. As law enforcement continues to draw lessons learned from actual emergencies, HCFs should incorporate those lessons learned into existing EOPs or in newly created EOPs.
Download or read book Active Shooter Events and Response written by John P. Blair and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Columbine tragedy on April 20, 1999 began a new era in law enforcement as it became apparent that the police response to such mass shootings must be drastically altered. By the time the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, outdated police response strategies had been replaced with new, aggressive tactics used by the first officers on the scene. The frequency with which these events occur remind us time and again about the importance of training and preparing for these critical situations before they occur in our own backyards. Active Shooter Events and Response is one of the first attempts to not only discuss historic active shooter events, but also to actually dissect some of them—empowering law enforcement professionals by leveraging the essential knowledge and experience of those who have gone before us. The book also offers insight into the training methodologies and strategies used to prepare our nation’s first responders to address the active shooter threat. In addition, the authors discuss the clear and present threat of terrorist organizations using these mass shooter tactics on American soil—similar to the attacks in Beslan, Russia and Mumbai, India. Written by members of the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University, this book is the culmination of more than a decade’s worth of training and research into active shooter events and represents state-of-the-art, evidence-based best practices.

Download or read book Emergency Management Plan Training in Higher Education written by Patrick E. Wise and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the shootings at Virginia Tech, colleges and universities in collaboration with federal and state agencies have developed emergency management plans to prepare for active shooter situations. In Ohio, the collaboration resulted in its public universities reporting that they had developed emergency preparedness plans to address active shooter situations. Historically, faculty have played a critical role in responding to shootings but have not been a focus of active shooter preparedness research in higher education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-reported preparedness of higher education faculty in their roles as responders in active shooter situations as well as to identify factors that were related to their reported preparedness. In this study, survey data were collected from 761 faculty recruited from the public, four-year universities in Ohio. The survey the faculty completed included subscales related to their institutions' active shooter preparedness planning and training processes as well as faculty report of their self-efficacy to respond. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were completed to determine significant relationships and predictors of faculty preparedness. The statistical analyses identified 46 significant relationships out of 78 comparisons among the identified variables with the strongest relationship being a moderate strength correlation between institutional planning and training subscale scores. In addition, there were eight significant predictors of faculty report of preparedness to respond to an active shooter situation identified with self-efficacy as the strongest predictor. Limitations include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the recruitment of participants as well as the inability to tie results back to specific institutions. Implications for theory, policymakers, and practitioners are discussed as well as suggestions for future research.
