I still cant comprehend why they teach people to hide vs run? Ok i get they need to "protect" everyone and keep everyone accounted for but all this does is make everyone a sitting duck. Im not even going into the gun debate on this. I know we pretty much all agree that gun free zones are bullshit and people need to be allowed to protect themselves (or others in this case) no matter where they are as long as they are a law abiding citizen. But my question still stands. Why the hell do we teach people to hide in place instead of getting the fuck out of the building? Doors and glass aren't gonna stop the crazy person from getting to you and best case scenario the cops are minutes away.

Re: Active Shooter Drill
Are we fundamentally trying to change our natural instincts of fight or flight to just hide and hope someone else saves your ass?
Rhetorical question......

Re: Active Shooter Drill
Anyone who has ever talked to me about this, knows my stance on it. Teacher's/School systems are poorly trained, on how to handle an Active Shooter scenario and it's easier to just tell them to hide and barricade the door, instead of putting in the time and money to train the staff members of schools nation wide.
Now there are about 5 more paragraphs I could write to go into more details on, how to offset cost, type of training and etc... but the above pretty much sums up the answer to your question.

Re: Active Shooter Drill
I guess that is the disturbing part of these "drills" IMO. There is never a call to escape or fight back......just simply hide and wait to either die or be rescued.Dave1965 wrote:I believe the teachings for our office have been centered around:

I'll not discuss my school's specific plans, but "hide" isn't our only option.
Our priority is to keep children from getting shot, by the surest available means, depending on the situation.

Re: Active Shooter Drill
Shoot the mother fucker should be the drill.
Do that a few times and I would be willing to bet we would start having a lot less of them starting this shit.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Active Shooter Drill
As a SRO for a very large school in my county, i like the lock the door drill. If shots are fired at the school im working in, i dont want to have to make my way to the fight through a panic crowd of innocent students that will make it harder to return fire. Also many shooters have plans of hearding students into fields of fire like an ambush. Locking down the school severely limits their targets of opportunity.
