Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Are you prepared?
Active shooter scenarios are dynamic, it isn’t possible to provide specific guidance for every imaginable circumstance
Run, Hide, Fight is the universal response protocol
Incidents are rare but, unfortunately, frequency is increasing
The active shooter threat is global, the risk is not limited to a region or regions
Training is not intended to cause unnecessary alarm, rather to provide guidance and prepare personnel to respond if suddenly confronted with a violent situation

3. Active Shooter Threat FBI Study of Active Shooter Incidents 2000 - 2013
Businesses closed to pedestrian traffic:
22 of the 23 shooters were employed or previously employed at the business
The sole non-employee shooter had a relationship with a current employee
The 22 shooters who were employees included:
14 current employees,
4 employees fired the day of the shooting;
3 former employees; and
1 suspended employee
Although the FBI study was limited to the United States, the data accurately reflects that the active shooter threat for businesses closed to pedestrian traffic is primarily derived from workplace violence incidents involving a current or former employee
Many individuals who become violent tell someone about their plans or display suspicious behavior beforehand. Per Eaton’s Violence Prevention policy, all employees have the responsibility to report any conduct which violates this policy to their supervisor or a member of Human Resources for investigation. If these incidents are not reported, the Company may not be in a position to take appropriate corrective or preventive measures. Simply put, if you see or hear something, say something.
 If you have questions or concerns, please speak with your manager, or a member of the HR, Security or Facilities teams.
The active shooter threat for Eaton is primarily manifested in employee Workplace Violence (WPV) scenarios
