Is "Active Shooter" training available to you? [View all]

Since this is usually provided via an employer this will be broken down into Yes/No and the number of employees. There are two Yes options: Yes available and I have taken it or Yes available but I haven't taken this training. If you are involved in an organization but aren't employed by them please apply the size of that organization. Vote based on past jobs if you like.

If it is available in the form of literature or a presentation on a computer but not as an actual class please consider that a Yes.

I'm really just curious as to how prevalent this particular training is and in what size organizations.
