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).

This alarming trend only underscores the need for all-round preparedness to tackle such situations. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security website, situations involving active shooters usually get over in 10 or 15 minutes. This means that authorities may not reach in time, making training for everyone, critical.
