Another great day of training in Grantville, PA!

Today, I had the opportunity to conduct my 5-hour Dealing with Angry People and Stress & Worker Safety, and Active Shooter Response course for the Pennsylvania Rural Water Association (PRWA).

I always appreciate the chance to work with water and wastewater professionals and share practical strategies to de-escalate difficult situations, improve workplace safety, and respond to potential threats.

A special thank you to the PRWA and everyone who attended for their participation and engagement!

During an active shooter incident, whether at a school or business, open spaces are not your friend!

Thank you Frank Galbraith and the leadership team at the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library for allowing us to conduct our Active Shooter Response training to their staff. They had one of the best trainers in the Tri-State area in Steven Lane leading the session.

We look forward to working with Frank and his team in the future.

According to the FBI, active shooter incidents decreased by 50% compared to 2023.

The FBI defines an “active shooter” as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.

Today, the FBI releases the 2024 Active Shooter Incidents in the United States report to provide an overview of active shooter incidents and responses to help law enforcement, other first responders, and the public better understand the levels of threats associated with active shooter incidents.
