DHS Active Shooter Preparedness Workshop - Alexandria, Kentucky

THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE

The Office of Infrastructure Protection’s Sector Outreach and Programs Division (SOPD), serving as the National Manager for the Active Shooter Preparedness Program, seeks to enhance preparedness through a “whole community” approach. This approach supports our stakeholders’ efforts to plan, prepare and mitigate risk from a potential active shooter threat or incident. The program provides an integrated and comprehensive range of resources to assist stakeholders in active shooter awareness training, including online resource publications and materials, online course study, and onsite training workshops.

The workshops, an essential component of the preparedness program, focus on providing a broad range of critical infrastructure stakeholders with active shooter awareness training. Workshop goals include recognition, prevention, and preparedness training for active shooter incidents with an emphasis on emergency action plan development. Following the National Preparedness Mission Areas and Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance, expert instructors utilize slide presentations, training videos, and facilitated discussions to share information on how to structure and develop an emergency action plan utilizing best practices. The workshops incorporate numerous breakout sessions, throughout the day in order to provide participants with an opportunity to develop their own organizational plan. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will return to their organization with the initial elements of their active shooter emergency action plan.
