Is "Active Shooter" training available to you?

18. I was assistant chief of security for Jefferson Community College

in Louisville Kentucky. Several years prior to my being hired the security department was actually a campus police department of about 4 to 5 officers and a chief, and bike patrol. I was told there was an incident in which the board decided to pull the certification thus eliminating police powers and removing firearms from the officers. I was hired right before Virginia Tech happened and as a result we formed a tighter relationship with Louisville Metro Police and participated in their active shooter training that was conducted in an abandoned office building. The training was invaluable but I felt inadequate as without being armed we would have no alternative but to sit back and wait for the police to arrive in the event of an active shooter situation. I later resigned after several failed attempts to convince the administration of the need to return our police powers and our ability to protect staff and students.
