Education on what to do in the case of an active shooter
Went to a presentation at the hospital last night done by the Sacramento PD on active shooter response, both by individuals and the police. He talked about some of the mass casualty events in the last decade, what has changed in the response as we have learned about how they operate. Interesting that we already had something worked out in the department where I primarily am. Former Army demolition guy came up with a very good plan.
Sort of reinforced what I already thought, for example, best thing to do is get the heck out of there. Shelter in place is okay for a hurricane, not so much for someone looking to kill as many people as they can. Interesting that the police communication devices quit working the moment they get inside the hospital. The officer that did our presentation has been working on funding to get signal repeaters installed in the hospitals so they won't have to use cell phones in the hospital.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
