Countering the Mass Shooter Threat: A Comprehensive Playbook for Every House of Worship, School, Business and Family in America
The USCCA Community Giving Program generously donated copies of Countering the Mass Shooter Threat: A Comprehensive Playbook for Every House of Worship, School, Business and Family in America to my Church Security teammates.
Special Considerations for Houses of Worship
As Director of Safety and Security for my Church, I was pleasantly surprised to see “Special Considerations for Houses of Worship” had its own section! I was grateful that author Michael Martin showed us how to apply general active shooter safety tips to Houses of Worship because Churches have unique challenges (e.g., exterior doors that are open on Sundays).
Special Considerations for Schools
There is a similar section “Special Considerations for Schools” which I thought was incredible and kept wanting to share this book with my teacher friends!
Being Proactive
The author analyzes statistics and facts from actual mass shootings in America (e.g., Columbine, Virginia Tech, New Life Church, etc.). The real life examples are invaluable to learn from, and show the importance of being proactive, promptly ending the threat and rendering immediate care to victims.
This book is especially helpful for leaders implementing an active shooter plan and teachers planning ways to keep their students safe in the classroom.
Rendering Immediate Care To Victims
An active shooter plan includes preparing to render immediate care to victims.
If you are a leader of a House of Worship or teacher in a School then Countering the Mass Shooter Threat: A Comprehensive Playbook for Every House of Worship, School, Business and Family in America can help you to protect good from evil and to save lives!
