Being prepared for any emergency takes on a whole new meaning when working with potentially deadly animals. The zoo and aquarium industry is one of only a few that requires preparing for the use of firearms in a public space. But where do you start? This webinar will provide an overview of the unique setting that zoos and aquariums present, different types of teams and responses, determining who is on the team, training, and more! If you have recently been charged with leading your firearms response, or undertaken a critical review of an existing firearms program this webinar is for you.
And, for a more in depth look at these topics, be sure to join us at the AZA Mid-year meeting!
