Tragic news came Wednesday, as an active shooter situation in California resulted injury and multiple deaths. The shooting took place at Inland Regional Center, a nonprofit that works with individuals with developmental disabilities.

Our thoughts go out to the victims of this tragedy and their families.

The incidents of violence -- whether random or planned -- have been on the rise since the late 90s, and this most recent event has resulted in renewed interest in organizational planning and training to enhance on-site responses to such threats.

At the 2015 Power Up! Conference, Lt. David Mattingly with the Sedgwick County Sherriff’s Office gave an in-depth presentation called “Response to an Armed Engagement”.  In light of this week's events and in response to those who have contacted us just since yesterday, we are offering a repeat of this training.
