This is what law enforcement is training for businesses. My DH's company had this training right after the Paris attacks. His company's main headquarters is based in Paris. Has anybody else had this training at your place of work?????

I've requested it for ours, but nothing is being included at this time.

No, but I think this should be something that should be taught to everyone out there in view of what is happening in the world today.  It just makes sense and is better than lying down and waiting to die.

Yes.  I work for our Township and we had this same training a few months ago.  Very informative and hopefully no one will have to use it.

@Preds, well until they do, remember those three words. A moving target is much harder to hit. Actually, they have some really good info out there for everybody. Knowing where the exits are when you are out eating, etc, etc It's the world we live in now.

Shame, I don't feel safe in my house of worship. We have 2 cops present to boot.

I agree @loveschocolate!  We were also taught this in weapons training.  Everyone should learn this for their own and others safety.  Actually using a gun should be a last resort for anyone.  Getting to safety should be your first thought.

We have this training every year at my job.

My dad was a police officer for many years, after being an MP during WW2. Whenever we went out in public, he would always sit where he could see the whole room. His first instinct was always to protect. I used to think it was a bit overzealous, but not anymore. A good lesson for all.

I don't like living like this and I really don't like that my children and grandchildren have this kind of future....and I don't want it for anyone else either!I think our melting pot has a few extra ingredients that won't melt.
