A post-secondaries’ vs. K-12 for Active Shooter Response

Posted on: Sep 23, 2022

If you were not able to attend one of the sessions on the best approach to responding to an active shooter situation, please take the time to learn more about a post-secondaries’ approach. Universities and colleges have a fundamentally different approach to K-12.

In K-12, you are taught lockdown as your only option, in post-secondary lockdown is one of your options, evacuate and take action are the other two. The three options offer a diversity of action that best meets your need in any situation.

Please watch an eight-minute video which simulates successful outcomes responding to an active shooter on campus. This information is helpful for any place you might find yourself: an airport, mall, at home, etc.
