EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS PEOPLE PREPARE AND RESPOND.

Nick Frankus

Following the Columbine tragedy, Russ helped develop new approaches to responding to school and workplace violence. His experience in several high-profile active-shooter incidents reinforced the importance of addressing both the threat and the urgent need to provide lifesaving care to injured people.

He advocates practical situational awareness through Observe and Notify, as well as effective trauma care. Now retired, Russ continues to consult with SWAT teams around the country and occasionally leads One Back Zebra workplace preparedness sessions.
