A broad ranging discussion with Scott Stewart on preventing workplace shootings. Can attacks be prevented? Do you know how to Stop The Bleed? How do you leverage tools to mitigate the risk? Is training critical for the workplace?
One of the most memorable images from June, 2019 was that taken by a Dallas Morning News Photographer. It shows a man in a black armored, pocketed vest with a black cap, face covering, green clothes, black boots and a large black gun about to enter the Earle Cabell federal courthouse in Dallas, Texas. Another was of sobbing survivors of a mass shooting at the Virginia Beach municipal center hugging each other on a bright, sunny day. Only the shooter was killed in the Dallas event. 12 people died at the scene of the Virginia Beach event. In a recent column for Stratfor Worldview, VP of Tactical Analysis, Scott Stewart, noted that while incidents of workplace violence and mass public attacks are a persistent concern, taking security measures ahead of time is a critical step toward avoiding attacks. He spoke with Chief Security Officer, Fred Burton.
