Although active armed offender incidents are very rare in Australia, these types of devastating events can occur and crowded places, such as shopping centres, have been targeted in other events around the world.

Do you know what to do if an active armed offender came into your business with the sole intention of hurting people? Like any emergency, you should have a well-practiced plan for what to do.

The National Retail Association has specific training to help retailers prepare, survive and recover from active armed offender incidents. Contact us at policy@nra.net.au for more information.
