There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to end shootings in America, but there are many things to be done, and it will take everyone working together to bring change.
Before: Protect
Security professionals can support their organizations and communities by helping develop plans, assess the physical security of buildings and grounds, and train citizens with kindness and awareness.
During: Respond
If an active shooter event should happen in your community, you need to be prepared to deal with the unique threats of a mass shooting crisis and to help protect citizens of all ages.
After: Support
Protect the privacy of all by seeking the guidance of professional media handlers in law enforcement, and engage a pre-established team to maintain continuity in business and to re-open schools and houses of worship.
