You are invited: WVPI violence prevention symposium Orlando

From January 1 through March 9, 2018, nine Americans were murdered at work. By comparison, one American soldier died in Afganistan/Iraq.

According to the F.B.I., 70% of all active shooter episodes occur in one of two places: Businesses or schools.

Three of the worst active shooter incidents in modern American history have occurred in the last 20 months.

Two happened at businesses (the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida and the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada) and one happened at a school (Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida).

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration advises that 2,000,000 Americans are victims of violence at work from harassment to assault to attempted homicide to homicide with “many more” cases going unreported.
