Law Enforment

Run!

If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises. Be sure to:

  • Know your exits!
  • Evacuate – even if others won’t follow
  • Leave your belongings!
  • Help others escape, if possible
  • Keep others from entering
  • Keep hands visible and follow the instructions of police officers
  • Do not move the wounded
  • Call 911 when safe

Next Step

Hide!

If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you.

  • Get small, dark, and quiet
  • Silence your phone
  • Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., an office with a closed and locked door)
To prevent an active shooter from entering your hiding place:
  • Lock AND Blockade
Take a “Tactical Breath”…What else can I do?

Next Step

Fight!

As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter by:

  • Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her
  • Throwing items and improvising weapons
  • Yelling
  • Committing to your actions
Remember: When Hiding, plan your action to fight.

Law Enforcement Arrives!

Remember:

  • Stay calm and follow instructions
  • Put down any items you are holding, raise your hands with spread fingers, and keep hands visible at all times
  • Avoid making quick movements toward officers or yelling and screaming
  • Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating, just proceed in the direction from which officers are entering the premises
The first officers on the scene will not stop to help the injured or provide assistance. They are there to neutralize the threat.
