Some law enforcement agencies are shifting away from the hide piece of this and preparing people to 'take action' instead.
The deadly shooting at Michigan State University this week was among dozens of mass shootings just one month into the year."Run, hide, fight" has long been the message. That message was on the alerts sent to students at Michigan State University.
But some law enforcement agencies are shifting away from the hide piece of this and preparing people to"take action" instead. “If we look at things like Virginia Tech and Parkland, Florida, shootings where people that hid did not have a great survival rate, it can make us change our training to better adapt survival rates in these kinds of situations,” said Deputy Michael Fetherolf of Ohio’s Franklin County Sheriff's Office.
Fetherolf leads active shooter training for his department. The method they've been teaching over the last few years is avoid, deny, defend.“We start saying, ‘OK, you can deny entry to where you are,” he said “If you can lock a door, that's great because then they can't come in. But if you're not able to lock the door, we need to do something else.
Ultimately, he tells us active shooter training isn't about trying to scare people, but about making sure we're as prepared as possible.
