"I think Vernon did a wonderful job in explain the problem regarding mass shooting. To me, the information was very helpful." Tamara Olicoeur MCNY "The presentation was very well presented and the information was paced and communicated effectively! I was able to glean excellent informaiton from the visual and presentation aspects of the webinar!" Allen Portman City of Houston OEM "Good presentation, valuable information and references to start from in beginning to develop an active shooter program." Bob Davisson Benton County (MO) EMA "Please repeat this kind of webinar." Mansooreh Metropolitan College "This forum was very informative. As a former college administrator, I understand the importance of facility security, especially when that facility is located on the 11th floor of a 30 story building that has lax security that could easily be penetrated therein affecting the college population. I have the same concerns for my company, which is similarly located. I haven't been able to find much information on such facilities. Perhaps there are other forums you can recommend?" Bibi S Leslie MCNY, '11, MPA in EDM "The program was a very good introduction to the complex problem of active shooters." "This was excellent. The Mr. Vernon is obviously very knowledgeable and produced a concise informative presentation. I think it will be very useful in my work setting. I will certainly forward the transcript onto appropriate individuals in my own response agency. Thanks for putting on this program!" Jim Fazackerley San Francisco Fire Dept - EMS "Outstanding topic, presentation, and presentor! Thanks for all you do. Also, not sure this is in your mission statement, but there is a NIMS Training Plan Draft for Comments (comments are due February 22, 2011). Any chance on a presentation from the team in charge of editing this document?" R Littrell Ada City-County Emergency Management "This was a clear and concise planing and response information presentation on what to do in the event of a shooting incident."
