“Active Shooter/Assailant incidents are often unpredictable, evolve rapidly and have substantial consequences. In an effort to respond in an effective and safe manner a collaborative approach must be developed, is your agency ready? Come join us to expand awareness and learn the next steps in developing a coordinated response. Based on FBI statistics, there have been more than 160 active shooter/ hostile events in the U.S. since 2000. These events are occurring more frequently and can happen anyplace and at any time. Events can occur at schools, churches, shopping areas or even when your agency responds to routine events. Public expectation of our emergency response community is that we will immediately respond with a well-developed and exercised plan to stop the killing and immediately care for those who are injured. This awareness level program is designed to provide a brief history of incidents that occurred locally and nationally. A directed discussion related to current practices with an emphasis on developing a local integrated response (PD, FD, EMS) plan. Discussion related to the benefits of fire and EMS personnel preplanning ways to assist law enforcement during an event along with reviewing current and future training programs, equipment availability and best practices in taking the next steps in preparedness."" />
