A.M. SESSION: A School-Focused Study of the Active Shooter Problem & How to Minimize Victims
Who is the school attacker? Where do school attacks start? How and why have most schools failed at planning a response? Why are most “best practices” for school Active Shooter response not best? What is the only response that gives a mathematical chance of a low victim-count? How can a school plan, train, resource, rehearse, and wargame a response plan that will save the most lives? Participants will understand why past school response plans failed and what new ways of planning, training, and preparation are needed. The morning session is open to school administrators and educators. Agencies are encouraged to extend invitations to schools in their jurisdictions.

P.M. SESSION: Critical Law Enforcement Lessons – Learned from Active Shooter Attacks
This presentation will help law enforcement officers better understand the Active Shooter, his attack, the environment in which we will find and fight him, what is most likely to happen, how attacks in some types of locations differ from others and demonstrate over 20 law enforcement lessons-learned from successes and failures in efforts to interdict this threat.  This information will improve the law enforcement officer's mental skill, and tactical preparation to stop the active shooter threat.
