COURSE DETAILS

This 4 to 5-hour comprehensive course is based on our Countering the Mass Shooter Threat course, but specifically tailored for and to help prevent mass shootings in houses of worship.

In this course, you will pour over data collected from 48 mass shootings, finding similarities along the way which will lead you to a conclusion that answers the question – what can be done to counter this threat? Once you’ve learned all you can from these historical events, you’ll begin to understand the importance of developing an Emergency Operations Plan, and the systematic forethought that goes into mass casualty preparation.

A course textbook ($35 value) is included in the cost of your registration fee.

This 4 to 5-hour course will be instructor led, held virtually through Zoom, where your instructor will guide you through the following lessons:
