On being prepared

The Tuesday Faculty Lunch Series presents Director of Campus Safety Daniel Hect whose talk is titled “Preparing to Respond to High Risk Low Frequency Incidents on College Campuses.” Active Shooter Incidents (ASI) are a reoccurring and all-too-familiar trend in the United States. The role of Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) administrators is vital to the overarching preparation of policies and procedures for an effective response to ASIs. IHL administrators’ support of Educational Law Enforcement is marginal, partly due to political power structures within the universities. Due to the increasing awareness of the consequences of an ASI, it is becoming more apparent that the IHLs must be better coordinated to prepare for High Risk Low Frequency Incidents.
