Presentation  Title - Active Attacker Training

Synopsis - The term “Active Attacker” is used instead of “Active Shooter” as active shooter does not cover the range of weapons that could be used to inflict harm on others. Preparing your colleagues for an active attacker incident involves more than just individual knowledge. This presentation will cover both individual and organizational response options, including an overview of a plausible tabletop exercise for senior management.
