00:00:11.026 --> 00:00:13.026
Where does fear come from?

00:00:13.129 --> 00:00:15.896
It's having a problem...
without a solution.

00:00:15.992 --> 00:00:20.062
What can we do about it if an armed
intruder entered our school?

00:00:20.104 --> 00:00:21.347
Be prepared...

00:00:21.549 --> 00:00:25.566
that's what can dramatically
change your chance of prevailing

00:00:25.592 --> 00:00:27.112
during a shooting event.

00:00:27.175 --> 00:00:28.158
Why?

00:00:28.174 --> 00:00:31.152
Because the intruder is
NOT counting on you

00:00:31.163 --> 00:00:32.368
being ready to act!

00:00:33.585 --> 00:00:37.325
Being prepared begins with...
accepting the reality that

00:00:37.335 --> 00:00:40.801
today's world demands us
to be ready for the unexpected.

00:00:40.838 --> 00:00:41.716
AND...

00:00:41.753 --> 00:00:43.606
changing the way YOU

00:00:43.618 --> 00:00:45.287
see your environment.

00:00:45.544 --> 00:00:48.298
This awareness will allow you to

00:00:48.341 --> 00:00:49.611
"what if" think -

00:00:49.621 --> 00:00:53.921
and this provides mental
preparation and planning to an event

00:00:53.957 --> 00:00:55.580
that has not happened.

00:00:55.903 --> 00:00:58.170
We say "the body can't go

00:00:58.180 --> 00:00:59.297
where the brain

00:00:59.307 --> 00:01:00.618
has never been."

00:01:00.793 --> 00:01:01.892
For example,

00:01:01.903 --> 00:01:04.920
if you're in a location where
there are lots of people,

00:01:04.930 --> 00:01:06.930
let's say the cafeteria,

00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:09.019
be sure to pay close attention

00:01:09.069 --> 00:01:11.069
to the space around you.

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:14.855
How many entry and
exit points are there

00:01:14.865 --> 00:01:16.584
in the space where you are?

00:01:16.651 --> 00:01:19.474
What rooms are approximate
to your location

00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:22.380
that you may be able to
lock out the intruder

00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:24.150
if you can't get out?

00:01:24.733 --> 00:01:27.062
Which exit or room is the closest?

00:01:27.145 --> 00:01:28.394
If something happened,

00:01:28.405 --> 00:01:31.154
which would be your first
go-to room or exit?

00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:31.967
And...

00:01:31.978 --> 00:01:33.734
which would be your second?

00:01:33.784 --> 00:01:34.571
In addition,

00:01:34.582 --> 00:01:36.459
train yourself to notice things

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:38.152
that sound, look, or

00:01:38.202 --> 00:01:39.785
just seem out of place.

00:01:39.941 --> 00:01:42.200
If you hear sounds that are unusual

00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:43.674
or that don't belong,

00:01:43.777 --> 00:01:46.476
don't wait around too long
to find out what they are

00:01:46.487 --> 00:01:48.342
or where they're coming from.

00:01:48.491 --> 00:01:50.981
Take action at the first sign

00:01:50.992 --> 00:01:53.610
that something out of
place is happening.

00:01:53.793 --> 00:01:55.136
In a moment like this,

00:01:55.146 --> 00:01:57.344
it's important to use your basic senses

00:01:57.354 --> 00:02:00.010
to determine the RIGHT action to take.

00:02:00.220 --> 00:02:01.343
This can be challenging

00:02:01.353 --> 00:02:04.022
because our human nature
wants to see something

00:02:04.032 --> 00:02:05.600
in order to believe it...

00:02:05.743 --> 00:02:08.221
leading us to potential danger.

00:02:08.344 --> 00:02:12.173
So, we must learn to trust
other senses besides sight,

00:02:12.183 --> 00:02:14.579
to make life saving decisions.

00:02:14.776 --> 00:02:17.585
If we train ourselves
to respond to what we...

00:02:17.595 --> 00:02:18.318
hear

00:02:18.329 --> 00:02:19.910
vs. what we see,

00:02:19.921 --> 00:02:23.304
we're less likely to put
ourselves in harm's way.

00:02:23.527 --> 00:02:25.285
In most cases, we'd simply

00:02:25.295 --> 00:02:28.118
lock out the danger
as quickly as possible.

00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:30.260
In these crucial moments,

00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:32.314
let your training alert you quickly

00:02:32.324 --> 00:02:34.500
that something wrong is happening.

00:02:34.630 --> 00:02:35.413
First,

00:02:35.423 --> 00:02:38.479
let's discuss the concept
of lockdowns.

00:02:38.582 --> 00:02:41.340
A lockdown is meant
to PREVENT an attacker

00:02:41.350 --> 00:02:44.951
from accessing interior
of a school or classroom

00:02:44.961 --> 00:02:47.352
where students or staff may be.

00:02:47.402 --> 00:02:49.318
Lockdowns provide a process

00:02:49.329 --> 00:02:53.345
to secure students and staff
away from the threat.

00:02:53.501 --> 00:02:57.595
Isolate the dangerous situation
from much of the school.

00:02:57.945 --> 00:03:01.170
Account for students
and staff in secured areas

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:03.558
and identify medical concerns.

00:03:03.621 --> 00:03:04.440
And

00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:06.035
depending on the situation,

00:03:06.045 --> 00:03:09.030
facilitate an organized evacuation

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:11.422
away from the dangerous area.

00:03:11.865 --> 00:03:13.865
There are two types of lockdowns.

00:03:13.922 --> 00:03:14.688
First:

00:03:14.741 --> 00:03:19.800
A threat OUTSIDE OR "NO ENTRY"
into the school building lockdown.

00:03:19.968 --> 00:03:22.975
This is anything outside
or near the building

00:03:22.985 --> 00:03:25.432
that creates a threat to the facility.

00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:29.742
Measures are taken to ensure
there is no entry into the building

00:03:29.752 --> 00:03:32.334
creating a threat inside.

00:03:32.420 --> 00:03:33.867
Some examples would be:

00:03:33.897 --> 00:03:34.887
a fugitive

00:03:34.897 --> 00:03:37.315
running from police near the school;

00:03:37.365 --> 00:03:39.383
violent crime in the community

00:03:39.449 --> 00:03:42.692
near a school -
with a criminal at large

00:03:42.842 --> 00:03:46.365
an unknown person or
restricted person on the property

00:03:46.376 --> 00:03:47.312
or...

00:03:47.323 --> 00:03:49.736
even a wild pack of dogs

00:03:50.339 --> 00:03:51.971
The other type of lockdown

00:03:51.981 --> 00:03:54.047
is a threat INSIDE the school building

00:03:54.057 --> 00:03:56.245
that's an immediate threat.

00:03:56.408 --> 00:03:58.152
Some examples include:

00:03:58.162 --> 00:04:00.990
Unauthorized access
by an intruder with

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.567
unknown intentions

00:04:02.597 --> 00:04:03.413
Or

00:04:03.423 --> 00:04:06.828
an armed intruder
with known intentions

00:04:06.985 --> 00:04:10.705
The announcement or notification
of either type of "lockdown"

00:04:10.715 --> 00:04:14.977
should be clear and easily
understood by students and staff.

00:04:15.085 --> 00:04:16.159
Codes

00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:17.692
should not be used.

00:04:17.767 --> 00:04:19.975
By telling people
where the threat is,

00:04:20.025 --> 00:04:21.970
"THREAT INSIDE or OUTSIDE,"

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.724
we're allowing people

00:04:23.734 --> 00:04:28.350
to determine their appropriate response
to the location of the threat.

00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:32.550
Let's review some procedures
for each type of lockdown.

00:04:32.932 --> 00:04:37.031
"THREAT OUTSIDE or
NO ENTRY" Procedures include:

00:04:37.081 --> 00:04:41.221
The building administrator or
any person with first awareness -

00:04:41.231 --> 00:04:44.673
announces in plain
language  - no codes,

00:04:44.710 --> 00:04:47.589
"lockdown, lockdown, lockdown

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.600
threat OUTSIDE".

00:04:49.943 --> 00:04:51.873
Designated personnel or...

00:04:51.884 --> 00:04:54.833
anyone closest to an exterior door

00:04:54.843 --> 00:04:56.159
must confirm

00:04:56.170 --> 00:04:58.787
doors are closed and secure.

00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:02.032
Clear hallways, restrooms,
and other rooms

00:05:02.042 --> 00:05:03.479
that cannot be secured

00:05:03.489 --> 00:05:05.210
to prevent students or...

00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:06.187
someone else

00:05:06.197 --> 00:05:07.860
from opening a door -

00:05:07.896 --> 00:05:09.995
letting the threat enter.

00:05:10.172 --> 00:05:13.456
Secure and cover exterior
classroom windows

00:05:13.499 --> 00:05:16.446
(OUTSIDE threat, outside windows)

00:05:16.842 --> 00:05:18.842
Identify a Safe Wall

00:05:18.853 --> 00:05:20.853
and move all persons

00:05:20.863 --> 00:05:23.955
out of the line of sight
from the windows.

00:05:24.338 --> 00:05:25.728
Disable bells.

00:05:25.785 --> 00:05:27.981
Move on announcements only  -

00:05:28.068 --> 00:05:31.018
No running to your
locker or the restroom!

00:05:31.587 --> 00:05:33.872
Special attention should be paid

00:05:33.883 --> 00:05:35.956
to classes that are
outside the building,

00:05:35.967 --> 00:05:38.202
such as playgrounds and ball fields,

00:05:38.212 --> 00:05:41.235
they need to move
to a secured area or...

00:05:41.245 --> 00:05:43.245
back into the building.

00:05:43.337 --> 00:05:47.091
Teachers must be able to hear
the lockdown announcement.

00:05:47.173 --> 00:05:49.950
Test the exterior PA systems

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.493
to ensure they are working properly.

00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:54.521
Use a hand-held radio

00:05:54.531 --> 00:05:56.352
(keep it on your person).

00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:59.555
Identify an alternate
lockdown location

00:05:59.566 --> 00:06:01.017
off-campus.

00:06:01.126 --> 00:06:03.718
It can be indoors or outdoors,

00:06:03.754 --> 00:06:07.742
as long as everyone is
out of sight from the threat.

00:06:08.225 --> 00:06:11.293
Be mindful of students
who are very young or...

00:06:11.304 --> 00:06:14.071
require additional assistance.

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.030
Once the threat has subsided,

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.478
the building administrator
announces "ALL CLEAR"

00:06:19.495 --> 00:06:20.958
over the PA system.

00:06:21.061 --> 00:06:23.437
THREAT INSIDE Procedures Include:

00:06:23.473 --> 00:06:27.312
The building administrator
or any person with first awareness

00:06:27.335 --> 00:06:30.816
announces "lockdown,
lockdown, lockdown,

00:06:30.827 --> 00:06:32.257
threat INSIDE"

00:06:32.267 --> 00:06:35.268
over the PA system, intercom, or

00:06:35.278 --> 00:06:36.965
by any means available.

00:06:37.214 --> 00:06:40.384
Immediately direct students,
staff, and visitors

00:06:40.394 --> 00:06:44.089
to the nearest classroom
or secured space.

00:06:44.538 --> 00:06:48.790
Lock and cover classroom
doors and any windows

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.657
(INSIDE threat, inside windows).

00:06:51.906 --> 00:06:53.722
Identify the Safe Wall

00:06:53.732 --> 00:06:58.045
and move people away from
the interior windows and doors.

00:06:58.288 --> 00:07:01.426
Take attendance of students,
staff, and visitors

00:07:01.436 --> 00:07:03.228
in each classroom.

00:07:03.505 --> 00:07:07.598
Prepare a list of missing
and extra students and staff

00:07:07.608 --> 00:07:09.723
including their medical status.

00:07:09.754 --> 00:07:10.698
An adult

00:07:10.708 --> 00:07:13.124
should take this list with them

00:07:13.134 --> 00:07:16.583
once they are directed
to leave the classroom.

00:07:17.359 --> 00:07:18.710
Classes outside

00:07:18.721 --> 00:07:21.145
SHOULD NOT return to the building.

00:07:21.501 --> 00:07:25.822
Be sure to move to a
predetermined evacuation site.

00:07:26.032 --> 00:07:28.734
DO NOT respond to anyone at the door

00:07:28.744 --> 00:07:32.069
until an "all clear" is announced.

00:07:32.374 --> 00:07:33.981
Keep out of sight.

00:07:34.331 --> 00:07:38.191
Be prepared to ignore
any fire alarm activations,

00:07:38.201 --> 00:07:40.285
THIS IS NOT the method

00:07:40.295 --> 00:07:43.894
to evacuate the building
during a lockdown.

00:07:44.670 --> 00:07:48.017
When necessary to move students
from a secured location,

00:07:48.027 --> 00:07:52.892
assist them in moving as
quickly and quietly as possible.

00:07:53.228 --> 00:07:56.337
Leave all personal possessions behind.

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.829
When the threat has been cleared,

00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.839
or confirmation received

00:08:00.896 --> 00:08:03.550
that the intruder
has left the building,

00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:05.720
the administrator or designee

00:08:05.730 --> 00:08:07.612
should announce the "all clear"

00:08:07.622 --> 00:08:09.622
over the PA system.

00:08:09.932 --> 00:08:10.877
Please note

00:08:10.888 --> 00:08:14.519
that Police may have to
provide confirmation

00:08:14.529 --> 00:08:16.950
for clearing the lockdown.

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:22.942
Now, let's talk about the three primary
actions you can take to prevail.

00:08:27.219 --> 00:08:30.178
It's important to understand
that these "3 OUTS"

00:08:30.215 --> 00:08:31.933
are not a linear response.

00:08:31.943 --> 00:08:33.053
Your location -

00:08:33.070 --> 00:08:34.464
in relation to the threat -

00:08:34.474 --> 00:08:37.817
will determine which OUT
action is appropriate

00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:38.877
based on:

00:08:38.887 --> 00:08:41.281
your location in the room,
the building

00:08:41.292 --> 00:08:42.838
or on school grounds.

00:08:42.912 --> 00:08:44.516
the location of the threat.

00:08:44.592 --> 00:08:47.950
and what resources you
have at your disposal.

00:08:48.006 --> 00:08:50.510
So, the OUT that's best for you,

00:08:50.521 --> 00:08:55.282
may not be correct for the person that is
even a short distance from your location.

00:08:55.505 --> 00:08:56.478
For instance,

00:08:56.488 --> 00:08:58.913
those within the same large room,

00:08:58.923 --> 00:09:00.525
like the gym or auditorium,

00:09:00.548 --> 00:09:02.872
may use two different OUTS

00:09:02.882 --> 00:09:05.386
depending on which
door the threat enters,

00:09:05.396 --> 00:09:06.179
or...

00:09:06.190 --> 00:09:08.406
it could start in the room.

00:09:08.609 --> 00:09:11.165
For those directly next to the threat,

00:09:11.201 --> 00:09:13.823
TAKE OUT may be the best OUT

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:15.357
because they cannot GET OUT -

00:09:15.367 --> 00:09:16.625
and LOCK OUT

00:09:16.635 --> 00:09:18.280
is no longer an option.

00:09:18.355 --> 00:09:19.432
Okay.

00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:22.231
Let's take a look at
the LOCK OUT action.

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.147
LOCK OUT is generally appropriate
in the following circumstances:

00:09:27.217 --> 00:09:30.734
There is currently no DIRECT
contact with the threat,

00:09:30.810 --> 00:09:32.382
and you are in or...

00:09:32.392 --> 00:09:36.669
close to an area or room
that can be LOCKED OUT quickly.

00:09:36.906 --> 00:09:38.526
You would then lock the door

00:09:38.536 --> 00:09:41.658
and work to create
redundancy to your lockout

00:09:41.668 --> 00:09:45.191
by LOCKING, LAYERING
and REINFORCING it.

00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:48.620
Don't trust a keyed
lock to keep you safe,

00:09:48.635 --> 00:09:50.747
barricade the door!

00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:52.614
What we're really saying here

00:09:52.625 --> 00:09:54.558
is get the door locked

00:09:54.569 --> 00:09:57.175
or do SOMETHING to prevent access!

00:09:57.251 --> 00:10:02.268
Use whatever means you have available
to barricade or prevent entry

00:10:02.317 --> 00:10:05.118
into the room or space you're in.

00:10:05.888 --> 00:10:09.279
Most intruders have a relatively
short amount of time

00:10:09.289 --> 00:10:11.752
to inflict as much damage as they can

00:10:11.762 --> 00:10:14.064
before they're stopped by authorities  -

00:10:14.074 --> 00:10:15.736
before they end things themselves

00:10:15.746 --> 00:10:18.427
or before they are stopped  - by you!

00:10:18.710 --> 00:10:20.968
Intruders are running against the clock

00:10:21.011 --> 00:10:23.708
and tend to take the path
of least resistance.

00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:25.265
And their clock is ticking.

00:10:25.401 --> 00:10:26.598
As a result,

00:10:26.735 --> 00:10:30.637
they don't want to spend time trying
to enter a locked or barricaded space,

00:10:30.647 --> 00:10:35.994
costing precious seconds in their
pursuit to kill as many as they can.

00:10:36.331 --> 00:10:37.474
For this reason,

00:10:37.484 --> 00:10:40.978
a locked room with a door
that is reinforced and barricaded,

00:10:40.988 --> 00:10:42.678
with windows covered,

00:10:42.688 --> 00:10:44.642
can prevent those inside -

00:10:44.652 --> 00:10:46.892
from becoming potential targets.

00:10:46.942 --> 00:10:49.978
Take productive action without delay!

00:10:50.027 --> 00:10:51.561
Lock the room you're in.

00:10:51.592 --> 00:10:54.185
Continue to improve your lockdown

00:10:54.234 --> 00:10:56.234
by adding more layers of material

00:10:56.244 --> 00:10:58.244
to reinforce the lock out.

00:10:58.743 --> 00:11:01.179
Get yourselves against
the "safe wall."

00:11:01.235 --> 00:11:04.296
That's a wall where the intruder
cannot see you -

00:11:04.306 --> 00:11:06.471
if they were to look into the room.

00:11:06.676 --> 00:11:08.251
Being on the "safe wall"

00:11:08.261 --> 00:11:11.065
adds to your ability to prevail.

00:11:11.188 --> 00:11:12.018
Also,

00:11:12.028 --> 00:11:13.097
if possible,

00:11:13.107 --> 00:11:16.890
cover any windows to prevent
the intruder from being able

00:11:16.900 --> 00:11:18.269
to look into the room.

00:11:18.305 --> 00:11:19.136
REMEMBER!

00:11:19.186 --> 00:11:20.284
Just like you,

00:11:20.294 --> 00:11:24.580
an intruder will make decisions based
on what they can or cannot see.

00:11:24.651 --> 00:11:25.324
And,

00:11:25.334 --> 00:11:27.066
if you're out of sight they

00:11:27.076 --> 00:11:30.804
probably won't take the time
to attempt to enter your area.

00:11:30.827 --> 00:11:32.827
If your door opens outward,

00:11:32.837 --> 00:11:35.068
there are many ways to secure the door

00:11:35.078 --> 00:11:37.295
like the use of a chair or paracord

00:11:37.306 --> 00:11:41.267
or something similar
like heavy extension cords.

00:11:41.706 --> 00:11:45.671
It's important to always use
the fastest to slowest techniques

00:11:45.681 --> 00:11:47.681
to secure the door.

00:11:47.991 --> 00:11:50.455
Place the chair inside
of the door handle

00:11:50.465 --> 00:11:51.677
and once in place

00:11:51.687 --> 00:11:55.264
simply use your weight
to pull back on the chair.

00:11:55.442 --> 00:11:58.374
Another technique is self-belaying.

00:11:58.417 --> 00:12:00.181
Tie the rope around the handle

00:12:00.191 --> 00:12:00.978
and then

00:12:00.988 --> 00:12:03.318
wrap it around your buttocks. Then...

00:12:03.368 --> 00:12:06.355
lean back to the doorknob
side of the door

00:12:06.365 --> 00:12:07.601
using your weight

00:12:07.611 --> 00:12:09.802
to secure the door from opening.

00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:12.064
If the door is next to a wall,

00:12:12.074 --> 00:12:15.024
you can use the floor-belaying
technique.

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.517
Tie off the door.

00:12:16.660 --> 00:12:19.422
Lay on the floor with
the cord around your waist

00:12:19.432 --> 00:12:22.028
and with your feet
against the door frame

00:12:22.038 --> 00:12:23.868
to hold the door closed.

00:12:23.917 --> 00:12:27.553
Now, if you're in a space with
a door that opens inward,

00:12:27.603 --> 00:12:32.050
build a bridge between the door
and an opposite fixed object.

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:36.237
Use desks, file cabinets,
even your body and others bodies

00:12:36.275 --> 00:12:39.297
to take up the space between
the door that opens in

00:12:39.307 --> 00:12:40.783
and the fixed object

00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.562
to build a bridge.

00:12:42.764 --> 00:12:45.416
Simply "barricading" a door can work,

00:12:45.465 --> 00:12:48.949
but it's not nearly as difficult
for an intruder to defeat

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:50.808
versus "bridging."

00:12:51.271 --> 00:12:53.502
If your area doesn't have a door,

00:12:53.512 --> 00:12:57.623
use anything you can to barricade
the opening to the space.

00:12:57.773 --> 00:13:02.414
An area that takes the intruder
too much time or effort to access,

00:13:02.453 --> 00:13:05.122
will not be an attractive target area.

00:13:05.298 --> 00:13:06.706
Be prepared to act

00:13:06.717 --> 00:13:09.354
if the lock or barricade is overcome

00:13:09.364 --> 00:13:12.607
and the intruder is
attempting to gain entry.

00:13:12.657 --> 00:13:17.461
By taking whatever steps you can
to block entry to your room or area,

00:13:17.543 --> 00:13:20.714
you can be very successful
as you LOCK OUT

00:13:20.724 --> 00:13:23.748
and prevent access to the intruder.

00:13:24.110 --> 00:13:26.504
Now, let's look at another OUT action.

00:13:26.515 --> 00:13:27.357
GET OUT.

00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:31.506
When is GET OUT
the appropriate action to take?

00:13:31.742 --> 00:13:35.272
If you are not in direct
contact with the threat.

00:13:35.382 --> 00:13:36.202
OR...

00:13:36.212 --> 00:13:39.728
you are in approximate direct
contact with the threat -

00:13:39.738 --> 00:13:43.127
and you see that you
have a GET OUT opportunity.

00:13:43.190 --> 00:13:47.197
OR you are in an area that
cannot be LOCKED OUT.

00:13:47.254 --> 00:13:50.560
OR you are directly
next to an exit door...

00:13:50.630 --> 00:13:53.997
remembering there could be
a second attacker outside.

00:13:54.033 --> 00:13:54.776
You

00:13:54.852 --> 00:13:56.929
are the true first responder.

00:13:57.081 --> 00:13:59.768
Your proper or improper response

00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:02.719
is going to determine
success or failure.

00:14:02.867 --> 00:14:04.291
So, take the lead

00:14:04.327 --> 00:14:06.822
and if you can safely escape the area,

00:14:06.858 --> 00:14:10.327
take yourself and those
around you and GET OUT -

00:14:10.385 --> 00:14:12.422
far away from the danger -

00:14:12.432 --> 00:14:14.649
THEN call 911.

00:14:15.431 --> 00:14:17.599
Getting out seems pretty
simple... doesn't it?

00:14:17.755 --> 00:14:19.407
However, in the heat of the moment,

00:14:19.417 --> 00:14:23.353
your instinct may be to get out
using the exit nearest you.

00:14:23.543 --> 00:14:26.480
While this may be
the right "OUT" response -

00:14:26.517 --> 00:14:29.411
if everyone else is trying
to get out of the same exit,

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.574
then find an alternative exit,

00:14:31.584 --> 00:14:32.809
maybe even a window,

00:14:32.856 --> 00:14:34.416
to GET OUT.

00:14:34.906 --> 00:14:36.533
If you don't pay attention,

00:14:36.543 --> 00:14:38.407
you may start following the crowd

00:14:38.417 --> 00:14:41.398
and actually head toward
the danger zone.

00:14:41.461 --> 00:14:43.461
Here are two more
things to consider...

00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:44.192
First,

00:14:44.202 --> 00:14:48.294
if your GET OUT option requires
you to cover a large distance,

00:14:48.304 --> 00:14:52.472
then locking out in a nearby
room may be the answer.

00:14:52.575 --> 00:14:53.454
Second,

00:14:53.464 --> 00:14:57.075
if you find yourself in an area
that cannot be locked out,

00:14:57.085 --> 00:15:00.094
such as the gym,
cafeteria, or auditorium -

00:15:00.104 --> 00:15:03.858
you may GET OUT of the area
and go to a place you can

00:15:03.895 --> 00:15:05.058
LOCK OUT.

00:15:05.117 --> 00:15:06.832
<b>Do Not Wait!</b>

00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:08.161
Finally,

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:10.001
let's look at TAKE OUT.

00:15:10.391 --> 00:15:14.972
The reality is you may be in an area
where you just can't escape

00:15:15.154 --> 00:15:18.658
and where you have no means
of locking out the intruder.

00:15:18.786 --> 00:15:21.447
Your decision about
which action to take

00:15:21.457 --> 00:15:23.208
has been made for you.

00:15:23.284 --> 00:15:24.908
This is the time when you -

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.467
and the others with you -
will TAKE OUT the intruder.

00:15:28.870 --> 00:15:30.781
When TAKE OUT is your option,

00:15:30.792 --> 00:15:33.005
there are some things
you can do that will

00:15:33.055 --> 00:15:35.704
increase your chances of prevailing.

00:15:35.827 --> 00:15:36.746
First,

00:15:36.756 --> 00:15:37.672
look around

00:15:37.682 --> 00:15:41.347
and identify objects
to throw or use as weapons.

00:15:41.656 --> 00:15:43.844
As for picking an object to fight with,

00:15:43.855 --> 00:15:46.677
let's break it down
into three categories.

00:15:46.807 --> 00:15:48.807
1. Throwing Objects

00:15:48.930 --> 00:15:51.734
2. Striking Objects

00:15:51.834 --> 00:15:52.939
and three:

00:15:52.956 --> 00:15:56.079
Stabbing or Slashing Objects

00:15:56.522 --> 00:15:59.942
If you have time to select
the right object for throwing,

00:15:59.992 --> 00:16:03.410
pick something that gives you
a good combination of weight

00:16:03.482 --> 00:16:06.307
and that you can get
quick acceleration with.

00:16:06.763 --> 00:16:11.866
Objects like water bottles,
cell phones, books, a hole-punch,

00:16:11.876 --> 00:16:13.794
staplers, a globe,

00:16:13.805 --> 00:16:15.415
or a set of keys.

00:16:15.911 --> 00:16:19.252
If you don't have time
to pick the right object to throw,

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:22.029
pick any object near
you and throw it -

00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.692
and keep finding objects to throw.

00:16:24.808 --> 00:16:26.752
The intruder will
not have enough time

00:16:26.763 --> 00:16:30.496
to determine if the object
will hurt if it hits.

00:16:30.642 --> 00:16:33.827
Instinctively, they will try
to dodge, duck,

00:16:33.838 --> 00:16:34.784
flinch

00:16:34.794 --> 00:16:37.371
as the object is flying
through the air.

00:16:37.548 --> 00:16:40.919
You're using their natural
instincts against them.

00:16:41.044 --> 00:16:42.262
Remember...

00:16:42.273 --> 00:16:45.522
most intruders ARE NOT
conditioned for a fight!

00:16:45.649 --> 00:16:47.728
When it comes to striking objects,

00:16:47.739 --> 00:16:52.169
there are common objects that we can
swing and strike at the intruder.

00:16:52.420 --> 00:16:56.605
Objects like light weight
chairs, fire extinguisher,

00:16:56.708 --> 00:16:59.756
backpacks, a laptop or tablet...

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.653
even things like keys.

00:17:01.699 --> 00:17:03.334
When you are striking,

00:17:03.380 --> 00:17:07.902
begin the attack when any part of
the intruder's body enters the room.

00:17:07.982 --> 00:17:10.879
Don't wait for them to get
entirely into the room.

00:17:10.889 --> 00:17:13.755
You are aiming for
the head area of the intruder

00:17:13.765 --> 00:17:15.760
or the arm that has the weapon...

00:17:15.774 --> 00:17:16.480
or both.

00:17:16.550 --> 00:17:18.978
Stabbing or slashing objects

00:17:18.989 --> 00:17:23.135
are items like scissors, letter
openers or pens and pencils.

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:27.590
You need to target above and
below joints with slashing objects

00:17:27.601 --> 00:17:33.113
AND target face, neck, and upper
torso with stabbing objects.

00:17:33.227 --> 00:17:36.614
In other words, do as much
damage as you can

00:17:36.624 --> 00:17:38.382
your life depends on it.

00:17:38.449 --> 00:17:41.414
When throwing, striking,
stabbing, or slashing...

00:17:41.424 --> 00:17:42.729
it's contagious...

00:17:42.739 --> 00:17:45.253
meaning others will typically join in

00:17:45.263 --> 00:17:47.073
once they see what is happening...

00:17:47.107 --> 00:17:49.892
...increasing your force
against the intruder.

00:17:49.929 --> 00:17:52.518
We call this "swarming."

00:17:52.607 --> 00:17:55.330
Three or more people
that charge all at once

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:57.270
is a powerful "swarm".

00:17:57.366 --> 00:17:59.366
The intruder does not expect this

00:17:59.376 --> 00:18:02.392
and can't respond to this
overwhelming stimulus

00:18:02.402 --> 00:18:03.999
at the same time.

00:18:04.075 --> 00:18:07.410
In a swarm someone should
attempt to control the weapon,

00:18:07.447 --> 00:18:10.970
while another person
attacks the eyes of the threat.

00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:13.354
If you are willing
to fight for your life,

00:18:13.384 --> 00:18:15.795
then others around you will as well...

00:18:15.805 --> 00:18:17.403
intuitively.

00:18:17.597 --> 00:18:19.945
Don't think about
the threat in front of you -

00:18:19.967 --> 00:18:20.929
think about

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:24.031
and be motivated by
all of those behind you

00:18:24.041 --> 00:18:24.850
and

00:18:24.884 --> 00:18:27.892
those that you are
fighting to LIVE FOR!

00:18:28.615 --> 00:18:32.097
Yes, it's natural to
question if this will work.

00:18:32.133 --> 00:18:33.971
Yes, it's scary.

00:18:34.041 --> 00:18:38.911
Yes, the outcome of a plan
like this is uncertain.

00:18:39.041 --> 00:18:40.124
Yes,

00:18:40.134 --> 00:18:43.574
people may still get wounded
or killed in the process,

00:18:43.770 --> 00:18:46.418
but DON'T GET BEAT DOING NOTHING,

00:18:46.454 --> 00:18:47.631
GET BEAT

00:18:47.642 --> 00:18:48.758
DOING SOMETHING!

00:18:48.827 --> 00:18:52.001
There are no guarantees of success,

00:18:52.177 --> 00:18:53.800
but those that have fought back,

00:18:53.810 --> 00:18:56.835
significantly increased
their chances of escaping,

00:18:56.852 --> 00:18:58.910
being less wounded or...

00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:01.106
not being wounded at all.

00:19:01.582 --> 00:19:03.201
One thing is certain.

00:19:03.264 --> 00:19:07.544
If you take no action... if you
sit and wait for the intruder...

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:11.281
if you hope they will listen
to your pleas for mercy...

00:19:11.291 --> 00:19:15.299
if you think they will suddenly
feel remorse and spare you...

00:19:15.527 --> 00:19:17.441
there's only one reality...

00:19:17.551 --> 00:19:19.316
you will die.

00:19:19.945 --> 00:19:22.670
So, if you can't GET OUT
or LOCK OUT,

00:19:22.705 --> 00:19:27.216
a plan to TAKE OUT the intruder is
the ONE and ONLY hope you have

00:19:27.251 --> 00:19:29.041
to be victorious

00:19:29.052 --> 00:19:32.146
and to go home to your
loved ones that night.

00:19:32.676 --> 00:19:35.158
TAKE OUT is a last resort -

00:19:35.168 --> 00:19:39.584
but an effective solution
if you have no other choice.

00:19:39.667 --> 00:19:43.060
For those in an administrative
or office environment,

00:19:43.070 --> 00:19:45.382
there are a few important
things to consider.

00:19:45.499 --> 00:19:50.326
Try to identify at least two areas
that could be a lock out space

00:19:50.342 --> 00:19:53.846
and make a plan based on
where the intruder is located

00:19:53.869 --> 00:19:56.150
which one you will use.

00:19:56.206 --> 00:19:57.060
First,

00:19:57.070 --> 00:19:58.739
getting down LOW

00:19:58.749 --> 00:20:01.172
gets you out of
the direct line of fire.

00:20:01.208 --> 00:20:02.091
Second,

00:20:02.101 --> 00:20:06.153
getting down LOW next to an office
wall may also be an option

00:20:06.202 --> 00:20:09.239
as you prepare for
a potential TAKE OUT.

00:20:09.361 --> 00:20:13.661
If you can, grab an item from
your desk to use as a weapon.

00:20:13.835 --> 00:20:16.492
Now, this is very important...

00:20:16.549 --> 00:20:19.003
DO NOT get under a desk!

00:20:19.116 --> 00:20:21.236
To do so would limit your options.

00:20:21.285 --> 00:20:24.173
You are confining yourself
with NO ESCAPE -

00:20:24.183 --> 00:20:28.009
you limit yourself to only
ONE direction to escape.

00:20:28.316 --> 00:20:29.239
Lastly,

00:20:29.249 --> 00:20:31.430
while staying low - kneel  -

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.976
and keep good posture.

00:20:33.013 --> 00:20:35.933
Don't cover up or
get into the fetal position -

00:20:35.972 --> 00:20:39.255
kneeling will help you
stay alert and be ready.

00:20:39.317 --> 00:20:40.081
Remember,

00:20:40.091 --> 00:20:42.187
you might have to choose an OUT -

00:20:42.197 --> 00:20:43.814
which may be GET OUT

00:20:43.825 --> 00:20:45.469
when then opportunity arises

00:20:45.501 --> 00:20:47.141
or TAKE OUT

00:20:47.151 --> 00:20:49.761
if the intruder is coming your way.

00:20:50.264 --> 00:20:51.873
Let's do a quick review.

00:20:51.909 --> 00:20:53.559
When it comes to the OUTs,

00:20:53.569 --> 00:20:56.019
which "OUT" should you use?

00:20:56.202 --> 00:20:57.641
If it is LOCK OUT

00:20:57.651 --> 00:21:00.868
then you will work towards
LOCKING, LAYERING

00:21:00.878 --> 00:21:03.274
and REINFORCING your lock out.

00:21:03.357 --> 00:21:05.940
If GET OUT is your best option,

00:21:05.950 --> 00:21:08.315
then identify your exit and

00:21:08.371 --> 00:21:10.903
get out of the building quickly or

00:21:10.931 --> 00:21:14.662
GET OUT of the immediate area
that cannot be locked out

00:21:14.686 --> 00:21:18.246
to an adjacent area that
can be LOCKED OUT.

00:21:18.706 --> 00:21:21.718
If TAKE OUT is your ONLY option,

00:21:21.728 --> 00:21:25.009
then shift your focus and
mindset for the fight

00:21:25.058 --> 00:21:28.234
and identify the best take out options

00:21:28.244 --> 00:21:32.120
immediately available to you
and others in your area.

00:21:32.176 --> 00:21:33.770
Here's another idea...

00:21:33.953 --> 00:21:36.936
Think about where you spend
time throughout your day

00:21:36.979 --> 00:21:40.279
and do a mental inventory
of each of those areas.

00:21:40.355 --> 00:21:42.507
For example, in your classroom...

00:21:42.590 --> 00:21:46.221
think about the OUT options
you have in that space.

00:21:46.297 --> 00:21:50.789
How would you lock, layer,
and reinforce your door?

00:21:50.932 --> 00:21:53.439
Do you have an alternate
GET OUT option?

00:21:53.462 --> 00:21:56.831
If so, where is it in
relation to the door?

00:21:57.148 --> 00:21:58.310
If it's a window,

00:21:58.321 --> 00:21:59.550
can you break it

00:21:59.561 --> 00:22:01.561
and get others out?

00:22:01.637 --> 00:22:04.697
If there is one way
in and one way out...

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.728
and your LOCK OUT
is about to fail or failing,

00:22:08.844 --> 00:22:12.480
what would you have available
to TAKE OUT the intruder...

00:22:12.616 --> 00:22:16.669
and how would you direct
others around you to TAKE OUT?

00:22:16.999 --> 00:22:21.591
Now do the same thing to the other
areas you frequent throughout the day.

00:22:21.834 --> 00:22:24.181
Some areas may be GET OUT areas...

00:22:24.191 --> 00:22:25.271
for example,

00:22:25.282 --> 00:22:28.517
the cafeteria, because you
cannot LOCK them out.

00:22:28.707 --> 00:22:30.354
Where are the exits?

00:22:30.383 --> 00:22:32.934
Where could the threat come from and

00:22:33.010 --> 00:22:37.128
what would your response be
from each of those areas?

00:22:37.371 --> 00:22:39.727
What could you use to TAKE OUT

00:22:39.737 --> 00:22:41.888
while in those spaces.

00:22:42.137 --> 00:22:44.021
Now... think about those around you...

00:22:44.031 --> 00:22:45.388
and your loved ones...

00:22:45.457 --> 00:22:47.807
someone worth LIVING for!

00:22:48.083 --> 00:22:49.342
Dig deep!

00:22:49.465 --> 00:22:54.160
Find the strength and channel your
energy into a plan to overcome...

00:22:54.235 --> 00:22:56.235
and PREVAIL!
