Seyfarth Synopsis: In its introduction to
its New Active shooter training materials, the Illinois State
Police note that "civilians that are present at any given
incident are the true first responders."
The Illinois State Police (ISP) have developed and are making
publically available a training seminar on the civilian response to
active violence and other critical incidents. The seminar topics
include Active Shooter scenario, See Something – Say
Something, Emergency Action Plans, and the Run – Hide –
Fight response.
In its materials, the ISP defines critical incidents as those
that may occur at any location (including the workplace), that may
impact large numbers of victims, and may be man made, naturally
occurring, and may be survivable in many cases.
The ISP summarize thier training, saying that "you can
survive." It depends on individual mental preparation, having
a plan, situational awareness, and actions.
Employers will be wise to develop workplace violence prevention
plans and train employees on how to respond to active shooter
incidents.
