***For Widest Distribution***
The protection of the Nation’s critical infrastructure from all-hazards
threats is a shared responsibility between the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and the public and private sector partners who own and operate
vital assets and facilities. The DHS National Protection and Programs
Directorate’s Office of Infrastructure Protection leads the Department’s
efforts to strengthen public and private sector operations by securing critical
infrastructure and assisting owners and operators to prepare for threats
from all hazards, including events like an active shooter. In light of the
shooter event in Aurora, Colorado this email is to serve as a reminder about
the information, products and training that is available.
Online Training
DHS developed an online Independent Study Course titled Active Shooter:
What You Can Do. This 45-minute course was developed in consultation with
the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and the Hospitality,
Entertainment, and Tourism Security Council to provide guidance on how to prevent and
prepare for a potential active shooter incident.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
· Describe the actions to take when confronted with an active
shooter and to assist responding law enforcement officials;
· Recognize potential workplace violence indicators;
· Describe actions to take to prevent and prepare for potential
active shooter incidents; and
· Explain how to manage the consequences of an active shooter
incident.
The online training is available through the Federal Emergency Management
Agency Emergency Management Institute at
_www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/IS907.asp_ (http://www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/IS907.asp) .
Active Shooter Resources
DHS has also developed a booklet and poster, with assistance from the
Fairfax County Police Department of Virginia, the National Retail Federation,
and the Retail Industry Leaders Association, to assist facilities owners and
operators to prepare for and respond to an active shooter incident.
Topics covered in the “Active Shooter How to Respond” booklet and poster
includes:
· Profile of an active shooter;
· Practices for coping with an active shooter;
· How individuals should respond when an active shooter enters
their vicinity;
· How individuals should respond when law enforcement arrives on
the scene;
· Responsibilities of human resources departments and facility
managers in preparing for and managing an active shooter situation; and
· Tips for recognizing signs of potential workplace violence; and
managing the consequences of an active shooter situation.
Additional resource materials include the Active Shooter Booklet, the
Active Shooter Poster (English and Spanish), the Active Shooter Pocket Card
(English and Spanish), and the Active Shooter/Suicide Bomber Awareness
Bomb-Making Materials Awareness Program Card can be found at _www.dhs.gov/cfsector_
(http://www.dhs.gov/cfsector) .
Webinars
In September 2011, DHS hosted the Active Shooter Awareness Virtual
Roundtable, a Webinar designed to help private and public sector partners
understand the importance of developing an emergency response plan and the need to
train employees on how to respond if confronted with an active shooter.
An archived version of the Webinar, which includes presentations from a
former police officer and a behavioral psychologist, as well as a video
produced with assistance from the Federal Protective Service, can be viewed on
demand at _www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1231165582452.shtm_
(http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1231165582452.shtm) .
Live Workshops
The Department and its partners host monthly day-long workshop events,
including presentations from law enforcement and behavioral subject matter
experts, guest speakers, and facilitated discussions. Since the program’s
inception in December 2008, nearly 4,000 people have participated in DHS
co-sponsored active shooter workshops. Thirty workshops have been scheduled for
Fiscal Year 2012 in various cities across the country.
