School shootings always bring enormous media attention. Some of this attention is driven by the realization that the defenseless are placed in harm’s way by bad actors. After the Virginia Tech shootings by Seung-Hui Cho, much attention turned toward active shooter preparedness. Some prior indicators may have led authorities to stop the shooting before it occurred (Tapper and Miller, 2007).

You are the superintendent of a high-poverty urban school district known for high crime. Research and author an Active Shooter District Policy using resources found on the internet and/or provided by local and county law enforcement in your area. Use an emergency plan format that generally follows a military operations order by including the following sections:

Community Policing, Crime, and Fear of CrimeSituation
Mission
Implementation Actions
Administration and Supplies
Communication and Signals

The Lawyers’ Role in First Response Agencies

/in /by

You have just won the mayoral race for your city. You’ve read the Nicholson textbook and noted that Page 240 begins to list the significant contributions of legal advice necessary to have a “fully adequate, feasible, or acceptable” plan (Lister and Stockdale as cited by Nicholson,2012) . You now understand the challenges faced in joining EMC’s and LGA’s to prepare for emergency operations.

Your municipal police and local government attorneys have not held a disaster planning meeting in over five years. In 1000-1250 words write a local statute for presentation to your city council that outlines your plan to overcome this deficit, how to fund it, and operational aspects (including frequency, personnel required, etc.) Consider the limiting factors presented by Nicholson in Chapter 14.
