An active shooter is an individual who is engaged in killing, or attempting to kill, people in a confined and populated area. Active shooter incidents are often unpredictable and evolve quickly.
Gwinnett Police is now offering an active violence course to individuals. The course outlines the importance of situational awareness and the concepts RUN, HIDE, FIGHT and AVOID, DENY, DEFEND. The course encourages participants to think about different ways to improvise to protect themselves if an active violence situation occurs and what to do after police officers arrive. These concepts will be learned in a classroom setting and will not be physical scenarios
