The validated Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist focuses on speed. The faster the threat is neutralized and the injured are rescued, the more lives are saved.
What we found is managing an Active Shooter response isn’t just about getting the bad guy – you must also manage the clock. It turns out a lot of things can cost time and slow a response. The sequence you do things, who communicates with whom, delineation of tasks, and delegated decision-making all matter. Mismanage these things, and the response will be slow.
The Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist addresses the following:
- Sequences key items to save time
- Identifies key communication paths
- Clearly distinguishes tasks and roles
- Pinpoints needed delegated decision-making
- Integrates the response across disciplines
The Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist has been validated for design, content, format, and usability. The Checklist is subjected to ongoing testing and improvement. Feedback from everyone is evaluated for implementation in future versions.
The NCIER® Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist is in use by hundreds of Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS agencies across the United States. The Checklist is used in all NCIER® training classes, select DHS NTED certified courses, and other national active shooter curricula.
