Training For Security Person for Events

Answered by: 

Question: 
There is a lot of training out there for active shooter, but all I have seen right now is geared toward the general population. Do you know of any training geared to what a security person would and should be expected to do during an event? Clearly, our reaction is going to be wanting to take a more proactive approach. However, considering most of us are unarmed by policy, there are limits to what we can do.
Answer: 

I haven't seen anything specific to this for banks. Because much depends on local law enforcements capabilities I would recommend coordinating training with them. Reactions would differ for a stand-alone branch and one inside a mall or grocery store, as examples, and this coordination will help you tailor your prescribed responses based on those external factors.
