Police will provide information on previous incidents of mass violence, recent events, best practices for those caught in such situations, law enforcement’s response, and how to work together as a community toward prevention.
They will also provide additional resources for participants so they can continue their education on this topic, followed by a question-and-answer segment.
Persons unable to attend may obtain “active shooter” information by viewing the “Active Shooter/Violence Awareness” page on the Hawaiʻi Police Department’s website under the “Services” tab.
