n October 21, 2013, the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, told leaders at the 120th Annual International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference that new strategies and a more aggressive response needs to be taken as the number of active shooter incidents continues to rise. Holder went on to say, “Since 2009, the annual average of active shooter incidents during the previous eight years has tripled. In the last four years, there has been a nearly 150 percent increase in the number of people shot and killed in connection with active shooter incidents.” A 2014 FBI report regarding active shooter incidents indicated that 24% of these events have occurred in an educational setting.
Clearly, something must be done, and we can’t wait for federal help. It starts with us – the schools.
We are now taking advantage of the increased opportunities A.L.I.C.E provides. Our District trainers make presentations at all of our schools. The response has been very positive and supportive, in moving forward with continued A.L.I.C.E information. Gary Siegman, Whitefish Bay SD
