Threats of attacks on schools occur with alarming frequency. While the details of how this particular school managed the incident are not clear, they successfully averted the threat. If you're a school administrator, it's crucial to reflect: do you have a behavioral threat assessment team in place, and is your team adequately trained to manage situations like this?

Recently, the FBI released a revised "Run, Hide, Fight" video, which focuses on how schools should respond during an active threat situation, setting the scene within a high school environment. I've identified several concerns with the content and guidance provided in this video. The core options proposed for response are 'run', 'hide', and 'fight'. The video emphasizes "run" as the primary action, suggesting that individuals should escape if possible. However, this overlooks situations where a traditional lockdown could be safer and more effective. For instance, the feasibility of escaping safely depends on one's knowledge of the assailant's location, the possibility of multiple attackers, and the presence of secondary threats such as improvised explosive devices. Moreover, the guidance to run to a predetermined staging area can be problematic. Predetermined staging areas can be targeted by attackers, especially with secondary devices, thus potentially placing individuals at higher risk. By recommending "run" as the first course of action, there's an increased danger, particularly in schools with large populations, where the chaotic movement of hundreds or possibly thousands of students can lead to greater risk, as opposed to remaining secured in locked classrooms or buildings. The video's second suggested response, "hide," does align somewhat with traditional lockdown tactics. However, it clearly states that hiding is only appropriate if one cannot safely run, which might undervalue the potential lockdown procedures can offer. Finally, "fight" is presented as a last-resort option, which appears to be a sensible recommendation. Fighting should indeed be considered only when all other safer options have been exhausted. While the video aims to provide straightforward guidance, it potentially underrepresents the effectiveness of lockdown procedures and could lead to dangerous outcomes. https://vist.ly/35wt6 Let me know what you think?
