Seconds Matter when Shots are Fired
- Businesses, schools and colleges are often targets of gun violence with statistics showing, on average, more than one incident per month in the U.S.
- The FBI and other intelligence sources have warned about new threats of potential armed violence to state capitols, city halls and other government buildings.
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommends organizations be trained and prepared for an active shooter situation.
- Analyses show that the average active shooter incident lasts 12 minutes or less, and the first calls to 911 don’t typically come in for a number of minutes.
- Real-time active shooter alerts are critical so that first responders can arrive almost instantaneously to the proper location with as much situational awareness as possible to save more lives.
- Past tragedies have shown that shooters will not stop until they are confronted by law enforcement.
