Active Shooter Fast Fact

Kroll Solution

Active shooter situations often play out in lessthan seven minutes.

Kroll’s holistic approach enables you to
consider and assess risk from multiple
angles, maximizing your ability to respond in a
powerful, integrated way.

Active shooters generally plan their actionsin advance; rarely are attacks a matter ofsomeone “snapping” without warning.

Kroll’s hands-on training includes instructing
staff on how to recognize problematic
behavior or signs that are precursors toviolence.

Active shooters typically have some familiarity
with the building/location where they intend
to act and most likely have engaged in somepre-incident surveillance activity.

Kroll’s security assessments focus on theimportance of access control measures inpreventing or limiting the movements of ashooter in and around your facilities.

People onsite are the first line of defense andmust be prepared both mentally and physicallyto react until law enforcement arrives and theincident is stabilized.

Kroll’s training and drills give staff the tools
and confidence to protect themselves andothers as appropriate to the situation at hand.

Active shooter suspects will often continue
their assaults until law enforcement or civilians
intervene, or the culprit takes his or her own
life when confronted.

Kroll’s incident response plans will include
protocols and technical solutions forexpediting notification of an incident to law
enforcement. Access control measures andstaff training will also focus on ways to isolate
or otherwise hamper a shooter’s assaults until
law enforcement arrives.

How Kroll Helps You
Kroll is uniquely qualified to assess and enhance your preparedness foran active shooter or mass casualty incident. Based on best practices
developed from assisting hundreds of clients, our methodology integrates
three phases: Holistic Assessments, Customized Recommendations
and Deliverables, and Personalized Implementation and Training.
Holistic Assessments
Kroll will conduct an independent holistic review of your current threatenvironment. This includes your ability to prevent, detect, and mitigate
an active shooter incident. In particular, we scrutinize three areas that are
essential to preparedness:■■■■■■Current written policies and actual practices. We analyze andassess your organization’s current policies and determine actualpractices.
Physical environment. We conduct facility assessments, including
the physical security architecture, security guard programs, access
control systems, video surveillance, and real-world state of available
response capabilities.
Implementation obstacles. Often, clients have great plans that are
not actually implemented and tested. We determine the factors thatmight be impeding effective implementation.

Customized Recommendations and Deliverables
Based on the findings of our assessment, we will provide clear, pragmatic
recommendations for both physical and operational security programs
and policies.
One best practice that dovetails with our holistic approach is to help
you create a shared culture of safety and preparedness through “wholecommunity” involvement. To help you promote this culture, we willdevelop policies and programs for your organization that are easy tounderstand and to implement as designed. Inherent throughout ourrecommendations is also the understanding that active shooter and masscasualty events are dynamic in nature and require that several viableoptions be available to address changing circumstances.
Personalized Implementation and Training
The fear and uncertainty that employees experience during an active
shooter crisis can quite possibly expose them to even greater harm. And
yet, very often, the success of active shooter incident prevention andresponse plans relies heavily on an individual’s ability to recognize threats
and respond effectively. For this reason, we take an active, hands-on
approach in customizing safety plans and delivering personalized training
for your organization.
