Providing individuals with instruction and options they need should such a situation occur is the goal of a new one-hour program created by Penn State's Human Resource Development Center (HRDC), along with University Police and Penn State's Risk Management Office.
"University campuses are among the safest places in the world," said Steve Shelow, director of University Police. "This training is not intended to create fear, but to create awareness. We want the members of our community to know what to do should they ever be confronted by an active shooter, and we want to foster a campus culture that supports safety."
