Campus Active Shooter Integrated Response (PER-380)
The purpose of the course is to identify and practice integration techniques that First Responders and Immediate Responders will use to strengthen overall response, initial scene management, and communications strategies to mitigate an active shooter incident.
This course aims to strengthen the response capabilities of those working in a campus environment in preparation for an active shooter incident. An active shooter incident will test the resolve of First Responders and Immediate Responders. It is critical for these individuals to work together to prevent, mitigate, and respond to an active shooter incident. Participants will examine various techniques and principles that they can use to effectively combat active shooter incidents.
During the course, participants will discuss case studies of past active shooter events, survival techniques, initial patient management, and integrated concepts to mitigate an active shooter incident. Additionally, the course consists of a series of practical scenarios that will test the response capabilities of First Responders and Immediate Responders. The course provides participants with an opportunity to enhance their response skills to improve the chance of survival during an active shooter incident.
