Active Shooter Preparedness & Stop the Bleed Training for Congregations

Active shooter situations are unpredictable, evolve quickly and vary greatly from one attack to another. An Active Shooter is defined as an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.

Module 1 -The NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau will explore recommendations to mitigate the risks from active shooter attacks. The NYPD developed this program based on analysis of past active shooter incidents and careful reviews of previous studies.

Module 2 - National Disaster Interfaiths Network will include instruction and resources to prepare religious leaders and their staff for an active shooter, armed intruder, or emotionally disturbed person.

Module 3 - New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center will teach the life-saving, basic techniques of bleeding control until professional help arrives. The national awareness campaign was developed to encourage the general public to take an active role in the event of life-threatening emergencies.
