The exact same thing holds true when preparing for an active shooter event.

Preparing to PREVAIL!® (Armed Intruder/Active Shooter Training)

An armed intruder situation is something few of us have prepared for. And it’s that lack of preparation that raises anxiety…and fear. Training increases our ability to take appropriate action.

Equal Employment (from It's the Law™)

Modern day federal equal employment laws began with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and amendments to it and interpretations by the courts. It’s important to understand that sex discrimination law protects persons of all sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations-including cisgendered men and heterosexuals. Also, race discrimination law protects persons of all races, including Caucasians. Basically, almost every applicant, employee, or former employee is now protected from discrimination because of their membership in groups protected by law.
