Comprehensive Preparedness for a Violent Intruder Event
Utilizing Infrastructure, Technology, and Human Action to
Increase
Survival Chances
 Post-1999, Schools needed a procedure
 Columbine
 Law Enforcement focus was on its own response
 Are Education/Health/Business Professionals equipped to construct
the response to an …. Active Violent Threat?
 Is a Violent Intruder an educational or criminal event?
 What do many police officers suggest to their own kids in
response to an attack?
LOCKDOWN
in Action
For the Police/Admin…
 Command
 One word can initiate procedure
 Control
 Know where everyone is located
 Convenience
 Easily administered and followed
Keep you in for SAFETY!
For the Shooter/Terrorist…
 Command
 Mere exhibition of intent forces
command change
 Control
 Procedure requires everyone to
remain
 Convenience
 Minimal action achieves most
difficult objective (containment of
large, complicated structures)
Keep you in to HURTYOU!
• Active shooter incident begins
• Initiate emergency action plan
• Lockdown/Secure in place
• Wait for police arrival
• Does not account for all contingencies
• What if you are in the danger area when the shooting
starts?
• Limited responses decreases SURVIVABILITY!
1. Fight
2. Flight
3. Freeze
Which response does LOCKDOWN most closely
resemble?

Is just one of these always the best and only option?

Alert
Lockdown
inform
Counter, and/or
Evacuate
 Information is the key to good decisions
 Provide as much initial intel as possible to as
many people as possible
 No more Code Words
 We support LOCKDOWN as a tool
 Excellent Starting Point
 What is the first level of protection?
 Should already be “locked-in”!
 How can we better secure the classroom?
 Continuation of the ALERT
 Provide Real-Time Information – HOW?
 Allows for Good Decision-Making
 Teach skills that interrupt the physical and mental act of
shooting accurately.
 Teach skills that will allow the targets to benefit from
unknown tactical advantages!
 Age and Grade appropriate techniques
 Students will learn to engage in acts that will require very high
skill level:
Noise
Movement
Distance
Distractions
SWARM
 Interfere with ability to easily acquire targets and shoot
accurately?
 Provide occupants with the ability and authority to evacuate
 Removes as many potential targets as possible
 Removes need for family/friends to come to scene
 Establish Rally Points
