Detective Story Episode #3-Special Edition

In a special edition of the Detective Story Podcast, Retired Chicago Police Homicide Detective Mike Hammond discusses recent events in the Chicago area during which 12 people were murdered by two separate offenders. He talks about the police procedure, both from the perspective of a homicide detective and administrative responsibilities, during these mass casualty and public threat situations.  He also gives his perspective on how you can get yourself through these events safely both physically and mentally.

Below are some links to help with mental health crisis assistance and the FEMA Active Shooter Webpage which includes detailed descriptions of the Run, Hide, Fight concept of dealing with active threats.  For those of you who want to take a bigger step into personal safety and preparedness there is not many more comprehensive programs than Mike Glover's Fieldcraft Survival training and education programs in Detective Hammond's opinion.
