We analyzed over 600 mass shootings and other attack plots, interviews with dozens of subject matter experts, hundreds of research articles, to identify:
• Power to Prevent: Improved indicators for detecting and reporting plots in advance.
• Relentless Follow-Up: Improved approaches for following up on initial clues, including measures to deter individuals from violence and get the services they need
• Preparing and Training: Lessons learned on preparing the public, security staff, and responders for attacks, as well as actions afterwards to provide for the wellness of officers and the community.
These results are captured in our online Mass Attack Defense Toolkit. This presentation will review our top findings and demonstrate the toolkit.
