Members of Our Office of Domestic Preparedness attended the 9th Annual North American Active Assailant Conference in Troy, Mi. It is the largest event of its kind and was attended by law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, corporate security, emergency management, and other stakeholders responsible for active violence prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. They were given a wealth of information that aids them in doing their jobs at a high level.
