Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I am sorry to say this but that was probably the worst webinar I have ever attended. I have been in law enforcement for 35 years and in School Safety and Security for 15 years. I have taught active shooter training for over 20 years and this was really bad. i took this course to see if there were any new trends in active shooter as some of my information is old. this course should have been taught by someone in law enforcement that has been involved in active shooter incidents or command, not a professor talking to us the whole time about human relations. this course should have been attended by my HR person instead of director of Safety and Security. I sorry to be so hard on this but it was the worst $300 I ever spent and not worth the 1 1/2 hour of my time. You need to have a better course and instructor with experience in this area.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I felt that no new information was presented. A lot of what was recommended was for people to "report things to HR" but since HR is the audience of the training, the focus should have been what specifically HR should do once things are reported. Also, I don't find it useful when presenters read the slides, which is what this presenter did. I could have just read the slides myself.
