Ep 135: Active Shooter Training Buyer's Guide - Leadership

After thousands of active shooter exercises, we can tell which leaders actually sleep at night. They all did the same things to earn it, and it is not about tactics. It is about leadership.   This episode is the final part of the Active Shooter Training Buyer's Guide. Bill Godfrey, Jill McElwee, Billy Perry, and Ron Otterbacher break down what leaders have to own to make their organizations, and their partners, truly ready.   They discuss:    The difference between "I think we're ready" and "I know we're ready," and the hard work that closes the gap    Why readiness is preparedness, not just training: policies, procedures, funding, and a plan to maintain all of it    How training, exercises, and repetition each do a different job, and why leaders who confuse them stall out    Why your readiness depends on your partners, so if your mutual aid, fire, EMS, and dispatch aren't ready, neither are you   If you're a chief, sheriff, fire or EMS leader, emergency manager, or training officer, this episode gives you a practical guide to the leadership behind real active shooter preparedness, not just checking the exercise box.  View this episode on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/qnBdoWeM8_E Like what you hear?
