Author Dennis Potter Participates in School Violence Symposium

Three separate school shootings took place in Colorado, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania during the last week of September.
These shootings all resulted in fatalities. President Bush, joined by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, has called for parents and communities to take responsibility for ensuring school safety.

Metropolitan State University of Denver hosted a panel discussion on the impact this violence has on the larger community as well as explored school safety issues across the board. Dennis Potter, co- author of Law Enforcement Incident Command and Criminal Justice Professor, was one of the featured panel members.

Dennis recently retired as a Captain from the Jefferson County (CO) Sheriff’s Department, and was the Headquarters Supervisor and Operations Chief at the Columbine High School shooting. He is a critical incident instructor for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and New York State Office of Criminal Justice.

These tragic events, and other critical incidents, serve as reminders for educators, trainers and first responders of the importance of planning and training. LawTech is committed to providing the best possible textbooks and support material to assist in those efforts.
