Active Shooter Non-tactical Training

Description:

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Region 2 (New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands) invites you to join a two-hour security webinar focused on Securing Public Spaces to enhance your organization’s resilience in case of an active shooter incident. (This is not a Tactical Training Course)

Preparing employees for a potential active shooter event is an integral component of an organization’s incident response planning. 

Because active shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve quickly, preparing for and knowing what to do in an active shooter situation can be the difference between life and death. 

Every second counts.

Objectives:

• Provide information about best practices, communications protocols, and resources that will assist stakeholders to develop or enhance their emergency planning, preparedness, and response to active shooter incidents.
• Discuss the elements of active shooter incident response planning with guidance from expert instructors.
• Describe common behaviors, conditions, and situations associated with active shooter events.
• Discuss how to recognize potential workplace violence indicators.  

Understanding Liability and Risk Exposure:

The webinar focuses on providing awareness training that supports the development of emergency action planning capabilities. These capabilities may better position organizations in receiving important legal liability protections from the DHS Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002. To learn more about the SAFETY Act and the types of products, services, and layered security programs that have received protections, visit www.safetyact.gov.
