We just got told the FBI is coming to our warehouse tomorrow to train us all about active shooters. There will be 5 agents showing up i hear. Its going to be hands on and interactive. I dont know why, but something in side me doesnt feel good about it. They are even calling people in that are on vacation. They want EVERYONE here. They never act like this at my company. I think im going to leave work early tomorrow with my emergency vacation hours. Screw this crap.

Every training I've endured on this topic was "taught" by local or state law enforcement. Seems odd the feebs would be doing it but, according to their website, they do offer the training.
"The F8I also offers active shooter preparedness training to the public. Contact the Active Shooter Coordinator in your local F8I field office for more information."
I'm not insulting GAW by linking that website but it's there.
So maybe this is nothing eh
Probably nothing but I understand the suspicion.
My curiosity is why have a federal agency conduct the training? Local law enforcement will be the first ones there in that situation and they can share their protocols with the employees so that they have an idea of what will happen and what will be expected of them in the event.
The training itself is a bit of a yawn. "Run. Hide. Fight." That's the training. They might talk about ALICE too. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate)
