Most schools, businesses and public places regularly institute policies, procedures, plans and conduct drills for natural disasters however very little pre-thought or pre-planning has been established for response to a dangerous intruder. A dangerous intruder can take the form of a disgruntled employee, customer, vendor, parishioner, student, or stockholder. Training employees, management and security personnel in recognizing the warning signs or indicators of personnel can and has been critically important to preventing a potentially tragic incident(s) prior to them occurring. Additionally properly training employees how to respond effectively should a critical intruder response incident occur will greatly enhance a safe outcome for each of them.
