Program Overview
Very few organizations have effective and practical policy and procedure in place for an incident of violence or active shooter incident. For many, policies and procedures look great on paper, however, when you examine what’s expected of employees it’s simply not possible to carry out under the circumstances of an incident.
Policy and procedure is an area where limitation of vulnerability to organizational liability is critical.
This seminar brings a very high-level understanding to policy and procedure and its real effectiveness in what it’s designed to accomplish.
The facilitated Roundtable will be an open discussion about what other policies and procedures are being used, what resources are available, and what are best practices to follow.
