Carlos Mejia’s CHDS master’s thesis, “Active Shooter Response: Can a Comprehensive Approach Address the Existing Gaps?,” analyzes the shortcomings of the current Incident Command System in active shooter situations and suggests the development of a national response model to improve readiness. He explores different response strategies, case studies, and emphasizes the need for joint training and proper equipment for a coordinated effort. Mejia urges for a new approach that combines the efforts of emergency services and the community to enhance the effectiveness of life-saving actions in such crises.
