This book is a guide to training and preparing to respond to active threats, commonly manifest as an active shooter, and an introduction to tactics to defeat an active threat and direct post- incident investigation of an active threat incident. Written by law enforcement to serve small and midsize police departments and sheriffs’ offices, school districts, fire services, and community leaders. We recognize that approximately 97% of the nation’s 13,000-plus general service police departments and sheriffs’ offices serve communities of 100,000 people or less, and about two-thirds of America’s law enforcement agencies serve communities of 10,000 or fewer people.
