Fellow brothers and sisters, we’ve been seeing the topic of “Active Shooter Response” appearing more and more frequently. It’s a serious subject that needs to be addressed, as we know that our industry is always in a state of change. The new reality is that we have to take a hard look at how we render aid to victims in need during these types of crisis situations. This encompasses both proper training and the use of proper equipment and gear.
Ballistic Protection Equipment (“Body Armor”) as “traditionally” viewed, was once reserved for the police or the military, as they were the ones most likely to be attacked and/or shot. As we serve side by side with fellow first responders, it’s vital for us to be aware of available safety options and to continuously work together to learn best practices.
