“If shooting is underway, you go directly to the shooter, neutralize the shooter, period,' Katherine Schweit, a retired FBI special agent, said. 'Job one — Law Enforcement 101.'
WASHINGTON — The woman who created and ran the FBI’s active shooter response program is speaking out about the surge of active shooter attacks in recent weeks. Katherine Schweit is a retired FBI special agent who created the agency's active shooter response program
Katherine Schweit, a retired FBI special agent, is especially critical of the police response to the gunman who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. “If shooting is underway, you go directly to the shooter, neutralize the shooter, period," she said. "Job one — Law Enforcement 101."
The training Schweit created after the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 occurs both in the classroom and in real-life simulations for law enforcement across the country. She says now is the time for police departments to reinforce protocols and secure the proper resources. "The federal government adopted a policy of run, hide, fight," she said. "I think we are seeing the hide part trained in schools and not the run part trained in schools. I just don’t think the schools are training to that right now.”
