One-day Workshops
Active Shooter Crisis Communication
The headlines come far too often, another botched robbery or domestic situations spills into a bank and ends with shots fired or worse, someone killed. No one thinks it’s going to happen in their institution, but it can. SHAZAM built this half day seminar so key members of your team can learn how to mitigate the risk of an active shooter incident and prepare your institution for the aftermath of a critical incident.
Utilizing his 30 years of law enforcement experience, SHAZAM’s Mike Burke will explain deterrence trends, surveillance best practices and law enforcement partnerships. He’ll help identify common problems that often lead to a violent situation. Mike goes beyond the incident, exploring the emotional challenges you and your employees may face in the aftermath of a critical incident.
To help you build a better response plan after the incident is over, veteran news anchor Patrick Dix will share strategies to communicate. Patrick uses his newsroom experience to talk about the likely response of local and national media to any critical incident. He’ll help identify ways you can be ready for a critical incident with a step by step procedure for formulating your response to your organization, the community, social media and the media.
