The title pretty much says it all, the recent Seattle incident (please dont go off topic here), got me thinking that most folks really have no idea what to do if this happens. I serve on the newly formed department emergency planning commitee at work. The group was formed to come up with a plan for disasters of varrying scope and durration. Our Department may have to care for displaced minors like in katrina, or move 300 Juvenile delinquents to new quarters in a disaster. We are also charged with starting the building emergency planning process which would also cover things like fires and floods. We are writting a plan for a department that has 1500 employees at several sites with varrying security. On thing I have brought up at our work sessions is that we dont have a plan or any training as to how to respond if a disgruntled Client comes into our building and starts shooting. The social workers I work with have differing levels of self defense awareness. Some are even former police and probation officers.
So what to do if this happens in a busy office building??
Where can I get training materials on security awareness, developing a building plan, training employees.
Recognize that folks arent going to be carrying, and in fact my permit restricts my carring at work because the halfway houses for juvenile offenders, as well as the youth detention center, and our secure rehabilitation program, are on the same campus as my office building.
Any advice or online resources would be appreciated.
