At RISKWORLD 2023: Training Is Vital For Active Shooter Survival

One week before their May 1st presentation at RIMS’ 2023 RISKWORLD event in Atlanta, Ike Jenkins and Marc Vincent updated their slides with the latest figures on U.S. mass shootings.

By the time they’d checked into their hotels, the figures were already outdated. By the end the conference, the tally had gone up again.

The seemingly nonstop cadence of U.S. mass shootings is top of mind for many. The number of mass shootings as of April 30 this year has seen a 135% jump from the same date just five years ago. Mitigating the risk of active shooter incidents has never been more of an important topic for the risk management community.
