Active Shooters: Response to Violent Intruders

Prepare your employees and coworkers for one of the most challenging situations: A violent armed intruder on company premises or in your company buildings.

Sergeant Kevin Paugh joined the Menlo Park Police Department as an officer in 1998. In July 2000, he was selected to be a member of the MPPD K-9 Unit, a unit he served in for 12 years working two separated K-9s. Both of Sergeant Paugh’s K-9s were cross-trained in narcotics, K-9/SWAT tactics and deployments, and tracking and evidence location. He is a POST certified K-9 evaluator and currently supervised the MPPD K-9 Unit. 

Seeing our changing world and the increase in critical incident and active shooter events, Sergeant Paugh has focused on police training, preparation, and response to such events. He has authored a number of response plans for major city businesses and schools and regularly updates them. He has attended advanced critical incident/active shooter schools including Tactical Lifesaver, Tactical Response To School Violence, Police And Fire Integrated Response, and Raider Solo Officer Engagement Tactics.
