   Our strategies to survive Active Shooter events have derived out of our experiences as Law Enforcement Special Operations Officers and Supervisors, Combat Military Veterans, School Teachers, and School Administrators. Our staff has personally dealt with violent events in schools, both from law enforcement and school administrator perspectives.

 

   As SWAT Officers in the 90’s, we became very concerned with Active Shooters in schools. Our concern was the speed and viciousness of the attacks, and our realization that the chances of our arriving in time to prevent any casualties to be very slim.

 

   The issue then became what are the building occupants doing until law enforcement can make contact?

 

   The protocol then is still used by the vast majority of institutions today – LOCKDOWN/Secure-in-Place. While we do support LOCKDOWN as a tool or option, we believe it is potentially dangerous for it to be the only option. It does not prepare anyone in any way for the situations where LOCKDOWN cannot be achieved or the secure area is breached - situations which occur in most Active Shooter events.

 

   We have developed simple strategies that the masses can employ that will greatly increase their opportunity to escape carnage or counter the violence being directed at them. In these situations, the staff and students possess many tactical advantages, but they do not know what they are. These strategies are based on our actual experience of surviving violent encounters, and the lessons learned.
