Active shooter

The definition of an “active shooter” is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.” In most cases, active shooters use firearms and victims are chosen at random. The shooter is intent on killing as many people as possible.  Active shooter situations are unpredictable, evolve quickly and are often over within 10 to 15 minutes.

Including an active shooter plan in your emergency action plan and conducting drills will keep employees safe and minimize the loss of life.

And that’s smart safety!
