This course serves as part 1 of the active shooter preparedness program. In part 1, you will be asked to review this on-demand course.

In part 2, we will be conducting site visits and working with you to create and test out different scenarios. The ultimate goal is to develop response plans that you can use and feel confident in.

We understand that the topic of an active shooter situation is very difficult. We want to make it clear that the Institute for Childhood Preparedness never conducts unannounced drills, and we never simulate gunfire during our training. Instead, we conduct our training in a calm, safe environment. Read more about our commitment to safe active shooter preparedness training: Click Here.
