Enabling Educators Bergen County, N J., responds to threats on schools

摘要

In 2014, the FBI initiated a study to better understand how to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from active shooter incidents. This study looked at 160 active shooter incidents that occurred within the United States between 2000 and 2013—39 of them occurred at educational facilities, making them the second largest location category. Active shooter scenarios are unpredictable and can develop quickly. It's impossible to predict any pattern or method used in the selection of locations or intended victims. Knowing the statistics and random selection of locations for active school shooters, first responders need to identify the personnel resources available to help us during an incident, as well as provide these individuals the proper training and equipment to better care for our children.
