Steve Crimando, Principal, Behavioral Science Applications LLC - Michael Collar, Industry Solutions Director, Everbridge
We are in, and will likely remain in an exceptionally complex and dynamic threat environment. The pandemic and a variety of socio-economic stressors have served to amplify a number of operational risks, including the active shooter threat. Despite the initial lockdown response to COVID-19, the number of active shooter incidents climb 20% in 2020 and is already 20% higher again for 2021. The record-high number of attacks continues a disturbing and dangerous decades-long upward trend.
The risk can come from someone spiraling up with anger and frustration related to the political climate, their employer's or school's position on vaccines and masks, or slowly reaching their breaking point due to pandemic fatigue. The current environment is flush with potential grievances, some of which will likely be directed at the workplace and educational settings.
The perfect storm of active shooter risk is brewing and 2022 will present a unique confluence of factors that will escalate this risk. This webinar will describe the threat landscape and present Everbridge solutions for active shooter emergencies.
