Critical Information to Provide

• Building name and address
• Location of the active shooter(s)
• Number of shooters
• Physical description of shooter(s) (weight, height, race, gender, clothing color and style, etc.)
• Number and type of weapons held by the shooter(s) (handgun, rifle, shotgun, explosives)
• Number of potential victims at the location

Tips for When Law Enforcement Arrives

• When law enforcement reaches you, do not run at them or make sudden movements.
• Law enforcement's primary objective is to stop the active shooter as soon as possible.
• Responding officers will not necessarily know the identity of the shooter and may treat everyone they encounter as a possible suspect.
• Do not scream, yell, point, or wave your arms.
• Do not hold anything in your hands that could be mistaken for a weapon (including cell phones).
• Show the officers your empty hands and follow their instructions.
• Remain calm and follow the instructions of the responding officers.
• The first officers to arrive at the scene will not stop to help injured persons.
• Their task is to proceed immediately to the shooter/threat.
• Once the threat has been neutralized, safety corridors will be established and the building will be evacuated.
