Overview

This course aims to train non-traditional first responders, including civilian employees, students, faculty, staff, patrons, and any other person who lives, works, or visits any location where an active shooter incident may occur. The course focuses on the various components of the Run. Hide. Fight. Response paradigm, which is widely accepted and taught as one of the primary response paradigms regarding active shooter incidents. Participants will learn about the ways in which the Run. Hide. Fight. Response paradigm can be applied in any active shooter incident, regardless of the location or other factors involved.

During the course, participants will discuss the three primary tenets of the response paradigm, evaluate how the paradigm can be incorporated into existing building emergency action plans, complete a practical exercise in which they demonstrate the response options, and become familiar with notable case studies in which the response options were either implemented or could have been implemented to prevent or mitigate the attack. The course includes lecture, group discussion, and practical application of course material, and seeks to prepare the target audience for an active shooter incident by providing them with plausible and effective response options.
