VIDEO: Law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel trained together this week in a high-intensity active shooter drill, working to improve response times and save lives in increasingly common mass casualty events. The joint training, known as Active Shooter Hostile Event Response, or ASHE, aims to get EMS into scenes faster to provide life-saving care alongside law enforcement, rather than waiting until a room is cleared. โWhat we know is that if you train the way youโre going to work, when the real thing happens, it becomes second nature,โ said Logan Lane, director of public safety at Tallahassee State College. Lane said the traditional model of EMS waiting for a scene to be secured before entering cost valuable time. The approach is already proving effective.
