What is an ‘Active Shooter’ Scenario?  ‘Active Shooter’ is the term adopted by law enforcement professionals to designate one or more armed gunmen engaged in shooting multiple victims, generally at a single venue.  Examples of ‘active shooter’ incidents in the USA include: Columbine High School (1999) Virginia Tech University (2007) Aurora, CO (2012) Newtown, CT Elementary (2012) 2 Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved.

Venue Risk ‘At Risk’  Shopping Malls  Movie Theaters  Restaurants  Schools  Office Buildings  Hospitals  Nursing Homes  Playgrounds Not ‘At Risk’  Police Stations  Prisons  Gun Shows  Gun Shops Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 3 High Density LOW Risk Variable Density HIGH Risk On which list does your business belong?

Threat Factors  Target density helps determine target selection  Perceived risk helps determine actual risk  While target density and other factors may influence the desirability of one prospective target over another, it is the perceived risk to the perpetrator associated with each target that appears to determine whether or not an attack takes place.  It appears from comparing past Active Shooter venues that the presence of weapons is a deterrent that saves lives.

The ‘Old’ Response Tactics  Distress call received and verified  SWAT alerted  Patrol officers cordon establish perimeter and control access to site  SWAT arrives and takes up siege positions  Hostage negotiator attempts to open dialog with perpetrators Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 5 BEST CASE: +30 MINUTES

The ‘New’ Response Tactics  Distress call received and patrol unit dispatched  Patrol officers arrive on scene and enter with ballistic shields Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 6 BEST CASE: +7 MINUTES

The Reality of an Active Shooter Incident  Shooter enters and immediately opens fire on victims AT LEAST 7 MINUTES  Absent a lack of additional victims, a weapon malfunction or other encumbrance, the shooter continues to shoot victims for AT LEAST 7 MINUTES until help finally arrives  Active Shooters frequently intend to kill themselves or be killed by police – They DO NOT plan to survive!

The Reality of Outsourcing Your Security  “Help may be only minutes away when seconds count.” Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 8

The Only Proven Solution: In-Sourcing  The only proven method to deter potential threats and respond to actual attacks are on-site designated armed personnel Armed guards, or Specially-selected and trained employee volunteers  Onsite officers represent a workplace intrusion, an additional expense, and still cannot respond as quickly or effectively as a well-trained employee-based system  The TridentCMG Defensive Shield Program can empower either a guard force or volunteer employees to deter an Active Shooter and save lives in a responsible manner Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 9

The ‘Right’ Management Decision  Doing ‘nothing’ is not an option!  While armed on-site personnel are a proven deterrent, even professional armed security guards may not be trained to deal safely and effectively with an Active Shooter in a populated venue  The last thing anyone wants are armed personnel responding in a crisis situation without the right training necessary to address the problem  The TridentCMG Defensive Shield Program is the right training for Active Shooter threats Copyright (c) Trident Crisis Management Group, Inc All Rights Reserved. 10
