Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency
An official website of the United States government
In many cases, there is no pattern or method to the selection of victims by an active shooter, and these situations are, by their very nature, unpredictable and evolve quickly. Resources such as posters and pocket guides raise awareness of the indicators of an active shooter incident and how to respond.
Office for Victims of Crime: “A comprehensive preparedness and security program should consider methods to support victims following an incident. There are a multitude of federal resources that assist in promoting justice and healing for victims. For example, the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) helps communities prepare for, and respond to, victims of mass violence events – including an active shooter incident – with checklists, a compendium of resources, and other pertinent victim-related materials with the Mass Violence Toolkit. Additionally, OVC provides free training and technical assistance on its toolkit to public and non-profit entities. Finally, OVC provides the Vicarious Trauma Toolkit , which enhances individuals and organizations’ understanding of the impacts of vicarious trauma, and how to locate tools to help strengthen agency response.
The video provides information to assist with mitigating the evolving threat corresponding to vehicle ramming incidents with insightful technical analysis from public and private sector subject matter experts. It leverages real-world events, and provides recommendations aimed at protecting organizations as well as individuals against a potential vehicle ramming incident.
The "Pathway to Violence" video provides information regarding the behavior indicators that assailants often demonstrate before a violent act. Behavior experts reference research conducted by Frederick Calhoun and Steve Weston’s on threat management and further describes the six progressive steps that may be observable by colleagues. The video also includes law enforcement expert interviews that discuss engagement strategies and recommended responses to someone potentially on a pathway to violence.
Download the printer-friendly Pathway to Violence fact sheet that explains warning signs that may lead to violence and what individuals can do to mitigate a potential incident.
The CISA Personal Security Considerations fact sheet identifies behavioral and suspicious activity indicators and provides basic personal security measures to reduce the probability of becoming a victim of an attack.
The Options for Consideration video demonstrates possible actions that individuals can take if confronted with an active shooter scenario. This instructive video reviews the choices of running, hiding, or as an option of last resort, fighting the shooter. The video also shows how to assist authorities once law enforcement arrives.

In case of an emergency, or to report suspicious activity or events, call 9-1-1 or contact your local law enforcement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cut Junk Calls - $20 Basic Annual Membership
We will list you in the Private Citizen
Directory , a do-not-call list sent to over 1,000 local and
national junk call firms and list sellers across America. The Directory
notifies them of your unwillingness to be freely junk called or have
your name sold, and
warns them of your $500 fee if they use your time and your
telephone to solicit you. Private Citizen members consider any phone
solicitation
to be a junk call; including sales, non-profit and survey calls.
Members get a list of firms we sent the Directory to, a
newsletter and info on telemarketing laws. Since junk callers don't
know which of us will sue if they refuse to pay, they avoid us like a
mine field. Our members report a huge drop in junk
calls. And
we've helped our colleagues collect more than
$2.9 Million from telemarketers.
Indeed, a Congressional report recommends the use of Private
Citizen's Do-Not-Call Directory.
We also publish ' So... You want to Sue a Telemarketer',
a book which contains
(and explains) federal telemarketing laws and FCC regulations. It also
reviews the broader (and more effective) legal framework which Private
Citizen members use to stop the calls. It can be ordered by using our Membership Form .
Cut Junk Mail - $10 Basic Annual Membership
We copy and send the 'junk mail' portion
of your Authorization to Congress and the eight largest list sales and
junk mail firms named on it. One firm mails 350 million ads a week.
Another sells data on 90% of Americans. Our members also get access to
a little known federal law that many call `The Ultimate Junk Mail
Weapon '. It stops all business advertising mail that you
object to. . . even from the most stubborn mailers: PERIOD!
But most importantly, every new Private Citizen member gives us a
stronger voice to promote effective privacy regulation on state
and national levels.

"Private Citizen members have successfully stopped the
annoying calls."
Sam Donaldson
"[Private Citizen's] strategy is mischievous,
ruthless, and surprisingly effective."
"The telemarketing industry's worst nightmare."

"A tough mail rejection service for people who can't stand
being on mailing lists".
"By making a quick call to 800-CUT-JUNK ,
you can slice most of these [telemarketing]
interruptions out of your daily routine."

"Seek the aid of... Private Citizen."
"[Private Citizen's
president] is a general in the army of Americans fed up with
telemarketing calls."

"One face many telemarketers won't
be happy to see [at the June 2002 FTC do-not-call
forum]
will be that of Robert Bulmash, president of Private Citizen
Inc. and a longtime opponent of the industry."

All Citizens are “Private” since we are not subjects of a crown or Government.
Now there are some very misguided people out there who refer to themselves as “Private Citizens” AKA “Sovereign Citizens” who do this in the belief that by doing so they can ignore societal requirements such as taxes and licenses but still be able to fully partake in the very society they refuse to contribute to. They Will tell you all about Admiralty flags and secret meaning on the dollar as well as their refusal to recognize Government. then you can go to YouTube and watch hilarious videos of them actually putting

Actually it's an oxymoron in Greek; one can be either a private or a citizen. The private for Athenian Greeks was called idiotes (ιδιώτης), and the word idiot comes from this.
Being a citizen in a Republic is about caring about the public things. Res Public means exactly this: public things!
A private citizen therefore is a citizen that cares no more for the public things.
