The“New York City Police Department’s Active Shooter:
Recommendations and Analysis for Risk Mitigation” was
released in the wake of the shootings in Newtown,
Connecticut and incorporates 43 incidents that have
occurred.
Recent active shooter attacks have illustrated the
importance of procedures, systems, and training designed to
mitigate the risks from active shooters. These mitigation
recommendations are based on analysis of past active shooter
attacks, and careful review of previous studies. These
mitigation recommendations, which are tailored to building
security personnel, are detailed in Part II of this book.
