Active Shooters Have A Plan – Do You?

Read any of the news headlines and on any given week you will see a story of an active shooter attack.  Last week’s shooting at a Dallas car dealership and the terrorist attack on the streets of London are yet more jarring reminders of the threats we face in public spaces and work places across the country from rogue active shooters seeking to take lives and disrupt our sense of safety.

The key to safeguarding buildings and properties is the strategic placement of security assets, which can only be learned from real world experience.
