Description

Join us for an insightful and vital presentation by Glenn Norling, an expert in active shooter response and prevention. This is a must-attend session for anyone interested in understanding the realities of active shooter situations and learning how to protect themselves and others.
In this engaging session, Norling shares hard-hitting facts about active shootings, backed by thorough research and real-world statistics. He emphasizes the crucial concept of buying time in these critical situations, highlighting that the average church shooting lasts eight minutes—the same amount of time it typically takes for police to respond. Norling discusses how reducing the time to recognize and respond to such threats can be life-saving.
Drawing on his extensive FBI experience and comprehensive analysis of major incidents—including Columbine, Virginia Tech, Parkland, and Uvalde—Norling presents a compelling case for a proactive approach to safety. He offers practical advice, including knowing your environment, having a clear action plan, and the importance of acting decisively rather than hiding.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from a leading expert in the field.
* This general session is geared towards the Church Safety Conference but is open to anyone attending CFX 2024.
