Topic: Preparing for a Violent Critical Incident

In today’s world, it is important to have plans for all kinds of emergencies. In many cases, though we don’t have a good plan for responding to a violent critical incident. Plans should be options-based and those plans need to be known by all and practiced by all. Learn about a program that can provide you with a plan, the ability for everyone to know how to respond, and the ability to practice the plan.
