Description

In 2013, the president signed into law the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, which granted the attorney general the authority to assist in the investigation of äóìviolent acts and shootings occurring in a place of public useäó and in the investigation of äóìmass killings and attempted mass killings at the request of an appropriate law enforcement official of a state or political subdivision.äó To provide further clarity on these threats, the FBI in 2014 initiated a study of äóìactive shooteräó incidents. Active shooter is a law enforcement term to describe a situation in which a shooting is in progress, and it implies that both law enforcement personnel and citizens have the potential to affect the outcome of the event. This study provides federal, state, and local law enforcement with data so they can better understand how to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from these incidents. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
