I have tried, for 3 years, to get my place of employment to implement an active shooter program. They refuse because they don’t want to scare people.

My previous job when through the building and put deadbolts on all bathroom doors and didn’t tell people why. Like we are fragile children. We all knew what it was about.

Yet, they never did implement any training.

As a senior manager in a professional firm, I was forced to sit through operations meetings where subjects like this came up periodically. The company started taking it more seriously when there was an active threat from an ex-spouse of an employee at one of our offices.

They came up with all of these stupid protocols, but they danced around the obvious flaws in every one of the responses.

I suggested that the best solution to mitigate a disaster would be to have a select (small) number of responsible senior employees at each location who would be secretly permitted to have firearms locked in their desks while they were in the office. That wasn't too popular among the company's leadership -- especially the legal department.
