The Role of Body Armor in Active Shooter Preparedness

This blog post will explore the importance of body armor in active shooter situations, the various types available, and how they enhance protection in confined and populated areas.  An active shooter is defined by the Department of Homeland Security as an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. These incidents occur rapidly, often before law enforcement arrives, making preparedness essential. Active shooter events can happen anywhere—schools, workplaces, shopping centers, or public spaces—where unsuspecting civilians become targets.
