MAC Message: Houses of Worship and the Active Shooter

Most have heard of “TED Talks” which were designed to share innovative ideas using the slogan “Ideas Worth Spreading” with an emphasis on Technology, Entertainment, and Design. MACNLOW will now be offering shorter training sessions (typically 2 hours in length) for public safety professionals called “MAC Messages,” with an emphasis on Mindset, Awareness, and Communication - three fundamentals that drive better decision-making, enhance public safety, and improve performance in every call and every contact. 

This "MAC Message" is designed to briefly explore active violence incidents in houses of worship, including profiles and motivations of assailants. We will identify two distinct groups of mass shooters, address possible solutions to the problem, examine cases around the United States and compare the United States with the rest of the world. Finally, we discuss the role of dispatch in mass shootings, with an emphasis on those that happen in places of worship.

This is an SNC approved course (MNA2026-6198) that is two hours in length and will run from 1 pm to 3 pm  The cost is $80 per person.
