This is a must listen if you have any part in developing or influencing the SOG's, Procedures, or Tactics for your departments Active Shooter Response. Eric Saylors brings the key takeaways from  the seven-year active shooter response study at EMSAAC in San Diego. And the knowledge from over 200 drills he ran and measured.

And of course as always the Audience did not disappoint!

Mark welcomes back Aaron for the last part of their conversation. In this episode, Aaron drills down the importance of taking classes and taking any job if only to open more doors in the future. He discusses the pros and cons of RST and going on tour, and raises awareness on the sensitivity of certain industries to guns and even terminologies like "active shooter." We talk about the possibilities for former police and military folks in EP and much more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset.

GOLDEN NUGGETS

Adjusting from police officer to EP agent - Aaron: "You have street smarts. You retired, you probably have common sense. You knew how to do report writing. There was a whole thing about being retired law enforcement that has so many benefits of transitioning into EP, but what they just gotta know is how do I f*cking function in a corporate environment? How do I adjust to that environment, and how do I know to lose the whole cop vibe, blend in, and just do my job? Like that's a big thing."

The 2 components of active shooter response - Aaron: "There are people that will teach, there are two components to an active shooter, there's the educational standpoint of being the employee, and then for me with Katalyst, the two programs I'm developing which are structural clearing and active shooter response. Not the product of like, Hey, there's a gunman, he's doing damage. How do we come together? How do we get in, eliminate the threat, and properly be identified and not get shot by law enforcement?"
