What Is The Average Police Response Time For Active Shooter Events? (https://www.safesmartliving.com/average-police-response-time/)
"Unfortunately, active shooter situations have become far too common. Because of this, police departments have made
this an extremely high priority, and according to a report published by the FBI in 2014, response times from 2000 to 2012
averaged 3 minutes around the country."
Since 2012, many police departments have significantly reduced the numbers of their ranks and are now spread very thin,
making that 3 minute mark, realistically, no longer the case. It's even worse in suburban and rural areas.
Even so, understanding that it takes more effort to clap your hands than it does to pull a trigger, count how many times
you can clap your hands in 3 minutes, now, more realistically, 6 minutes or 9 minutes.
This statement is not intended to scare you but to open your eyes to the reality of this time sensitive situation where
trained and experienced armed personnel already on the scene can make all the difference in the world.
Able Shamus' armed security personnel come from varied law enforcement and military backgrounds with years of training
and experience in the de-escalation of emotionally charged and intoxicant fueled situations and the identification and mitigation
of criminal activity and potentially violent incidents.
The analysis and planning expertise necessary to secure your event, business, home or religious/social meeting locations
from society's all too pervasive criminal and terroristic threats is just a phone call away.
