Welcome to the training on preparing to deal with active shooters. While this training is a part of the series on managing workplace violence, the threat posed by an active shooter can be in any setting and is therefore, a useful training for just about everyone.

Mass shootings have become a growing cause for concern across the United States. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 230 incidents of mass shootings in 2022 alone, where 4 or more people were shot at or killed (excluding the shooter).
