Countering the Mass Shooter Threat

COURSE DETAILS

This 4 to 5-hour comprehensive course is designed to help prevent mass shootings in schools, businesses, houses of worship, hospitals and families.

​

In this course, you will pour over data collected from 48 mass shootings, finding similarities along the way which will lead you to a conclusion that answers the question – what can be done to counter this threat?  Once you’ve learned all you can from these historical events, you’ll begin to understand the importance of developing an Emergency Operations Plan, and the systematic forethought that goes into mass casualty preparation.

​
