create a comprehensive curriculum of training interventions designed to help our
students, faculty and staff understand what to do if there is a shooter on our
campus. The WSUPD developed, in 2008, the nations first comprehensive on-line
training seminar:
“Be Prepared: Surviving an Active Shooter Incident”
While the individual modules of the Active Shooter on Campus curriculum
are focused on college campus scenarios, the information provided can be applied
and used in any active shooter incident, regardless of location, industry, or business
sector.
Currently available on Blackboard for all WSU students and their families.
“Be Prepared” Learning Modules
1. Defining an Active Shooter Incident
2. How To Survive An Active Shooter Incident
3. Reporting the incident to Police
4. Helping the Injured – (Basic First Aid Measures)
5. Police Response – (What to Expect and Not Expect from the Officers)
6. Follow-up
Hostage Incidents vs. Active Shooter Incidents – Both are High Risk situations that
require a very different response to increase your survival chances
