Buckingham Active Threat Video Series
Are you and your organization prepared in the event of an active threat?
Active threats come in many forms, and for various reasons, with the most extreme involving an attack with a deadly weapon. The natural response in these situations is to “run, hide, fight,” and that’s what we suggest. However, there are things that can and should be done long before an attack ever occurs. Ensure that you, your organization and employees are aware and prepared so they have the best chance of staying safe should an extreme event occur.
