The possibility of an active shooter attack on campus remains a primary concern for school officials. In 2025, the presentation ““Security Officer Response Roles When an Active Assailant Comes to Campus” garnered significant attention for addressing this critical issue.
During that session, Jacob Milner, School Safety and Security Analyst for the Idaho State Board of Education, outlined the specific duties of school security officers during an active shooter, active bomber, or other mass casualty event involving a weapon. While immediate response protocols are vital, comprehensive active assailant mitigation requires a broader strategy.
On February 5, 2026, Campus Safety will host Milner’s follow-up webinar titled “More Ways School Security Officers Can Effectively Prevent and Respond to Active Assailants.” This session expands on previous discussions, examining how both unarmed and armed officers can enhance overall school safety and potentially prevent mass casualty events before they occur.
