Topic 1 concerns an article on POLICEONE.COM authored by Lt. Dan Marcou titled “Will you take the active shooter pledge?”. The article covers active shooter/killer strikes including the recent one at a Florida school. Active shooters and preventing these incidents are referenced as well. Marcou also cites the Five Phases of the Active Shooter: Fantasy Phase, Planning Phase, Preparation Phase, Approach Phase and Implementation Phase.
THE ACTIVE SHOOTER/KILLER PLEDGE
I have personally decided that the threats faced by my generation of police officers require that I always be armed and personally committed to furiously train to protect those who can’t protect themselves in their moment of desperate need.
If I am ever faced with an in-progress active shooter/killer and I can make a difference, I will use my superior attitude, superior training, superior tactics and superior weapon (superior because it is in my trained hands) to become an army of one!
Out of my love for humanity I will enter that environment like a hate-seeking missile and use the chaos created by the killer(s) as a distractive device. I will move unheard and unseen by the killer(s) to a position of advantage. Once there – if left with no other options and presented with the opportunity to stop the killing – I will take the shot and make the shot. I am the protector of the flock; the honorable sheepdog.
