Lifeline | The Evolution of Law Enforcement Mass Casualty Training Artwork

Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum has opened its doors to the public. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement. Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 25,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialogue to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invite all listeners to follow us and submit questions for upcoming episodes!

Lifeline | The Evolution of Law Enforcement Mass Casualty Training

April 10, 2024 • National Law Enforcement Museum • Season 7 • Episode 1

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the mass shooting that took place at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. In addition to the upcoming Museum program, "Picking Up the Pieces: How Law Enforcement and Communities Rebuild After Mass Casualty Events" (link below to register), we at Precinct 444 decided to release a Lifeline-focused episode about mass shooter incidents. Lifeline is all about providing a holistic wellness approach focused on supporting American law enforcement, and in this instance, educate the public on mass shooter situations (link below).

On this episode, Matt Garcia, Deputy Director of OSW Programs and retired Lieutenant with the Connecticut State Police, hosts Supervisory Special Agent, John Skillestad with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to discuss the evolution of mass shooter safety and training developed in law enforcement. They also analyze the effects of this new training (ALERT) from a tactical perspective and the peer support offered to law enforcement following these types of incidents.
