Loading Events

POST has approved 4 hours.

The International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training, in conjunction with the COPS Office, is holding the next in the Active Shooter Response Training Program series, which is the 4-hour Supervising the Response: Leadership in Active Attacker Incidents Workshop.

The purpose of this lesson is to equip law enforcement supervisors with leadership strategies to effectively manage personnel safety, decision-making, and tactical coordination during active attacker incidents, with the goal of saving as many lives as possible.

Target Audience is any law enforcement official who, by rank or circumstance, would be faced with having to take charge of an active shooter situation.

Learning Objectives: During this course, participants will receive information and instruction on how to do the following:

  1. Using inverted thinking as a problem-solving technique, identify the worst possible outcomes of an active attacker event and list the various law enforcement responses that aid in preventing that outcome.
  2. Review the commonalities of active attacker events, including location, victims, and weapons.
  3. Identify the incident priorities of initial responding officers, whether line staff or supervisors, when responding to an active attacker event, and discuss how these are accomplished through an integrated response.
  4. Using the Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist, identify key functions within the National Incident Management System Incident Command System.
  5. Using case studies of active attacker events, analyze various responses, including those made by supervisors, and how they affected both positive and negative outcomes.
