Learn how to keep your church safe by training on the principles of Run-Hide-Fight in case of emergencies.
AIRSOFT EQUIPTMENT WILL BE PROVIDED
This hands-on class will demonstrate the core principles of Run-Hide-Fight. We will analyze real-life case studies, evaluate integration with emergency action plans and take part in a practical exercise using Airsoft Equipment.
AIRSOFT EQUPMENT WILL BE PROVIDED. This class will be led by instructors from the
Active Threat Response Preparedness Division.
This course aims to train non-traditional first responders, including civilian employees, students, faculty, staff, patrons, and any other individuals who live, work, or visit any location where an active threat incident may occur. Participants will learn about the Run-Hide-Fight response approach that can be applied in any active threat incident, regardless of the location or other factors involved. The course focuses on the various components of the Run-Hide-Fight response approach, which is widely accepted and taught as one of the primary response strategies regarding active threat incidents.
During the course, participants will discuss the three primary beliefs of the response approach, evaluate how the approach can be incorporated into existing building emergency action plans, complete a practical exercise in which they will demonstrate the response options, and become familiar with notable case studies in which the response options were either implemented or could have been implemented to prevent or mitigate the attacks. The course includes lectures, group discussions, and practical application of course material and seeks to prepare the target audience for an active threat incident by providing participants with plausible and effective response options.
