This briefing is designed to give the attendee’s an understanding of the Human factors that are present “before” and during an act of workplace violence. We will focus on the pre-incident indicators that can reveal the intentions of someone who intends to commit an act of violence or that an active shooter is present prior to the event and immediate response practices that can lower the loss of life.

Prevention is our goal, It is not realistic to expect that you can control the trigger mechanism that causes a person to commit an act of extreme violence. Historically in the US we have learned that there is indeed some form of mental break down in the lives of the shooters. With this reality in mind, there are certain factors and visual cues that each attacker or attackers will inadvertently disclose that will reveal what their intentions are prior to the event. Knowing what to look for will enable you to develop strategies designed to intercept the attacker before he or she has an opportunity to carry out the attack.
