The Columbine tragedy on April 20, 1999 began a new era in law
enforcement as it became apparent that the police response to such
mass shootings must be drastically altered. By the time the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012,
outdated police response strategies had been replaced with new,
aggressive tactics used by the first officers on the scene. The
frequency with which these events occur remind us time and again
about the importance of training and preparing for these critical
situations before they occur in our own backyards. Active Shooter
Events and Response is one of the first attempts to not only
discuss historic active shooter events, but also to actually
dissect some of them-empowering law enforcement professionals by
leveraging the essential knowledge and experience of those who have
gone before us. The book also offers insight into the training
methodologies and strategies used to prepare our nation's first
responders to address the active shooter threat. In addition, the
authors discuss the clear and present threat of terrorist
organizations using these mass shooter tactics on American
soil-similar to the attacks in Beslan, Russia and Mumbai, India.
Written by members of the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response
Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University, this book is
the culmination of more than a decade's worth of training and
research into active shooter events and represents
state-of-the-art, evidence-based best practices.
