DHS has a new "active shooter" website


From the Department of Homeland Security:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aims to enhance preparedness through a ”whole community” approach by providing training, products, and resources to a broad range of stakeholders on issues such as active shooter awareness, incident response, and workplace violence. In many cases, there is no pattern or method to the selection of victims by an active shooter, and these situations are by their very nature are unpredictable and evolve quickly. DHS offers free courses, materials, and workshops to better prepare you to deal with an active shooter situation and to raise awareness of behaviors that represent pre-incident indicators and characteristics of active shooters.

The new website provides access to:

·         Active Shooter: What Can You Do Course
·         Active Shooter Webinar
·         Active Shooter Workshop Series
·         Active Shooter: How to Respond Resource Materials
·         Options for Consideration Active Shooter Training Video
·         U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Active Shooter Related Research
·         Active Shooter Resources for Law Enforcement and Trainers: Request for Access to Joint Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Portal

Access to the new website can be obtained at: http://www.dhs.gov/active-shooter-preparedness
