Targeted Violence Considerations
Situations involving targeted violence have changed over time. Active shooters and firearms used to be the norm, but as of 2015, more acts of targeted violence have included knives or explosives. The change has prompted the use of the term: active threat. Knowledge of different types of targeted violence, shooter and threat profiles, and targeted violence environments will increase our awareness and help us prepare for these attacks. This course reviews training implementation and notification programs or systems employers use to educate employees on the known risks for targeted violence and the steps they can take to minimize acts of potential violence.
