See why training your employees is more critical than ever.
Metro Tech Downtown Business Campus • Presented in partnership with the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security as a public service to the Oklahoma City business community.
Do you and your employees know what to do if an active shooter enters your workplace?
In an increasingly violent world, there is no such thing as being too prepared. Active shooter incidents usually evolve quickly and are often unpredictable.

Learn what you need to know:
-
The characteristics of active shooter events
-
Prevention and intervention best practices
-
The pathway to targeted violence and pre-attack behaviors
-
Threat/Risk assessment components
-
Top security preparedness measures
Your Speaker: Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security Representative and retired tactical law enforcement veteran, Jim McBride, will guide you through how to properly prepare and respond to an active shooter attack at your place of business.
