  1. Univer Active Killer on Our Campus Are we Prepared for when the Unthinkable Happens?... Response Options

  2. Columbine High School, April 20, 1999 • Lessons Learned: There were many. But the primary one has often been missed:

  3. Why did they STAY?

  4. What did 8 years of LOCKDOWN training yield?

  5. The Statistics • POLICE • CHO • 100% Hit Rate • 68% Fatality Rate • 20% Hit Rate • 10% Fatality Rate

  6. ActiveKiller/ViolentIntruderEventMyths… • He/she fits the profile of an Active Shooter… • It will not happen here… • Police will respond in time to prevent carnage…. • Faculty and Students can do nothing against an armed intruder?

  7. You Have Three NATURALResponses • Fight: Counter Strategies • Flight:Evacuate • Freeze:Lockdown (Secure-in-Place)

  8. A.L.i.C.E

  9. ALERT • Provide clear, accurate information to authorities as quickly and safely as possible. • Identify: Self, location, suspect info, weapon, direction of travel, medical needs, call back number. • Don’t hang up unless directed by dispatch, or safety is a concern. • “Code Red” announcement vs. “Shooter in the Library!” …… • Use any and all available means: Texts, PA, Digital Signage, Web, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

  10. ALERT

  11. Change This To This

  12. Lockdown • Excellent starting point, but consider your location to that of the incident.Barricade then move quickly…Get to a place away from the door and out of sight of any windows & silence phones. • Locked doors provide a time barrier. The idea is to create a stronghold that nobody can breach… be a hard target! Have a plan • Lockdown does not serve as a complete stand-alone defense strategy. You must have other options available. • Once Lockdown is in effect no one should be allowed into a secure room under any circumstances. Only open your locked door for uniformed police personnel.

  13. Lockdown

  14. What would you use to barricade the doors if you had to keep an intruder out?

  15. Inform • Provide real-time information updates as this is crucial to increasing your survival chances. Video surveillance and public address systems are very useful. • The ability to provide real-time updates allows for good decision making. If all intruder movements and actions are broadcast this will give the good guys an advantage and could distract the bad guy, or even mentally defeat him/her. • Be flexible because the situation will be dynamic and fluid

  16. CounterYou can do something against an armed intruder!! • Police miss 80% of their shots in dynamic events. • The “bad guy” is not usually a highly skilled shooter. • Fight or Flight! • Train your brain. • Be a hard target vs. a soft target: • Distance=Time • Movement=Distance • Distractions=Hard Target • Mess up the intruder’s O.O.D.A. Loop

  17. Counter

  18. Skills beyond lockdown that you should know:Survival Tactics • Barricading, Cover and Concealment • Evade/Escape • SWARM • Removing and Securing the Weapon • Contact with Law Enforcement

  19. Counter Statistics • Victims resolved two and a half more incidents than Police did. • Police-resolved incidents resulted in 25% more fatalities than victim-resolved incidents • Police-resolved incidents resulted in 30% more non-fatal casualties than victim-resolved incidents • Victim-resolved incidents resulted in almost three times fewer fatalities than shooter-resolved incidents • Police-resolved incidents resulted in 16% more casualties than shooter-resolved incidents.

  20. Evacuate • The goal of evacuation during an Active Killer situation is to minimize the number of potential victims in the crisis zone. • Only 2% of Violent Intruder events have been by more than one person. • Those who are able should leave the area based on the information they are provided, their training and the ability to do so as safely as possible. • Know your surroundings and pre-determine various community rallying points. This could be a local park, a neighbor’s house, a church, etc. • Cannot use car to evacuate • There is no guarantee the police will reach you before the suspect does, so put distance between yourself and the bad guy.

  21. Evacuate

  22. Police Response • Follow Directions – Police may not know who you are. • Police will direct you to raise hands or give other instructions. • Multi-agency personnel will be there. • Information is fluid, rapid and at times confusing. • There will be chaos!

  23. Other Considerations • Government/ Other Agency Recommendations • Building Design, Layout, and Safety Measures • First Aid and Trauma Care • Legal/ Liability Concerns

  24. Facility Considerations • Use securable windows that open from the inside for escape. • Clear corridors of obstructions and hidden alcoves. • Install First Aid Kits in every classroom and office. • Ensure entry/exit doors do not have handles that will allow them to be chained shut. • Install classroom door locks that teachers can lock from the inside. • Make certain the facility has necessary receivers and transmitters throughout the structure to allow for dependable two-way radio and cellular phone use. • Involve safety personnel in planning /design phase of remodels or new construction.

  25. First Aid Basics • Training for Students and Staff? • First Aid Kits (ready bags) in classrooms? • Bleed outs • CPR - who, where? • Control Bleeding • Conventional • Unconventional

  26. First Aid

  27. Legal • …”implementing the ALiCE system as described and trained puts a school district in a significantly better position than a lockdown-only district. Aside from the safety benefits discussed elsewhere, properly implementing ALiCE decreases a district’s potential legal liability by providing the school (and its teachers, administrators, and staff) with the options to make the best possible decision in the circumstances they face.” Quoted from PRAE Group legal assessment

  28. A.L.I.C.E. "In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.  The next best thing is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.” Theodore Roosevelt
