Good morning and welcome to the HASC Safety and Security Committee Active Shooter
Drill Conference. I’m Pat Wall, vice president, membership and education services at
HASC. I also serve as staff to the Security and Safety Committee. I’d like to ask you all to
take your seats. It’s time to get started. (Wait for people to be seated)

“It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Security and Safety Committee’s program and drill
on active shooter. This program has been the major focus on the committee for the past ten
months.

“We have a great agenda and faculty lined up for you today. We’ll start with an orientation and
safety review. The orientation and safety review session is required in order for you to attend the
drill. I would like to ask you to silence your cell phones. Safety is our top priority and we’ll need
your undivided attention for the entire day.

“There’s a registration desk outside in the hallway and it will be staffed for the day. Please stop by
the registration desk if you have a need, or question or need to find a rest room. Another thing I’d
like to remind you about—there are a few 3 by 5 inch cards in your registration folder. These are
for any questions you may have for our panel. The day ends with a panel featuring several key
professional points of view. Hand your question card over to me, the registration desk, Daniel or
Darren.

“And one more thing—Please complete and return the survey on your chair. LAC+USC Medical
Center Department of Emergency Medicine and HASC are conducting a pre- and post- training
survey to help us get additional information about planning future active shooter education and
drills. A staff member will collect your surveys at the end of the

“Before we get started, I would like to thank and introduce Ken Bukowski, Vice President, Health
Care, AlliedBarton Security Services, the title sponsor for this event. We really appreciate it, Ken.
Your sponsorship made this event possible. I would also like to thank Maxxess Systems, Proper
Authorities, AVADE and Lynx Systems for their sponsorship for this event. And now, Ken
Bukowski.
