I was a guest on the Coptimizer Podcast with retired police chief Patrick Flannelly.
We talked about:
* Systemic flaws with the incident command system (ICS) during mass shootings like Las Vegas Harvest Festival and Uvalde
* School lockdowns versus evacuating
* Increased risk from arming teachers and private security
* Lost guns and accidental/negligent discharges
* Warning signs of violence and how to prevent school shootings
