The Department of Homeland Security's Run, Hide, Fight methodology for active shooter response is considered a national best practice. But one veteran law enforcement expert and a certified active shooter response trainer warns that many schools and businesses around the country may not be teaching the fundamentals of run, hide, fight correctly. And that may be putting students and employees across the nation at greater risk.

On this episode of the Prevention Podcast, host Dan Verton talks to Northern Virginia Community College Police Commander for Strategic Planning and Community Outreach John Weinstein about what it really means to run, hide or fight, and why current training programs and protocols for active shooter response are falling short.
