The basis of the program is from research and after-actions of previous events.  Understanding the relationship between the speed of violence and police response times that result in the need for action prior to police arrival.  Identify your communities target audience; such as schools, houses of worship and places of assembly, highlighting the response gaps that may exist.

A holistic and constructively critical review of an active shooter incident at YouTube Headquarters in San Bruno, CA will demonstrate the value or public / private partnerships in responding to active violent threats. While conventional wisdom might may make this a difficult concept to comprehend, welcoming  private partner decision makers into the response, incident management, and decision making process has proved to be critical in enhancing an overall response to a critical incident and saves lives.  This presentation will illustrate how a large scale critical incident was successfully managed due to training and preparation among both public and private responders.  Similar efforts have resulted with additional private partners.

As mass shootings become increasingly common in America's public spaces, researchers are discovering that many incidents have roots which are far closer to home. Emerging studies indicate that nearly 60% of mass murders are domestic violence related, presenting the opportunity to help prevent one type of targeted violence by addressing another. In this 90 minute training, threat assessment and management expert Lynn Fairweather uses real-life cases and data to demonstrate the significant connection between domestic violence (DV) and mass shootings. Participants will explore the mentality and motives of DV related mass murderers, and learn risk factors along the way that can help them to identify high-lethality subjects before they strike.
