Active Shooter Podcast: Staying Connected when Violence Erupts
The third episode of our six-episode podcast series discusses the importance of communications and data connectivity during and after an active shooter attack.
Like bank robberies in the 1920s and violent crimes fueled by the illegal drug trade in the 1980s and early 1990s, active shooter incidents have become one of the biggest challenges for 21st-century law enforcement. These incidents have become a point of emphasis for agencies over the past two decades, and new tactics, strategies and training have continued to be developed in order to best prepare officers and save lives.
Across the next two months, OFFICER Magazine's Officer Roll Call podcast will release a six-part series—sponsored by FirstNet—that examines the topic. The "Active Shooter Events & Response Evolution" podcast series will look at not how active shooter incidents have changed over the years and how law enforcement has been using accumulated knowledge and new technology to adapt.
In the third episode in our six-part special podcast series on active shooter event and response evolution, retired Lt. Frank Borelli and AT&T's Stephen Devine discuss the importance of communications and data connectivity during and after an active shooter attack. The tools FirstNet has available to empower interoperability are discussed, as well as ways they support a more efficient and effective response. When every second counts, first responders count on FirstNet.
