Today's world requires hypervigilant awareness. Have a plan to survive, everywhere you go.
In the aftermath of the FSU mass attack, NBC Tampa's Linnie Supall discussed with CERA CEO Ed McGovern the basic skillset every citizen should have to survive an active killer attack.

There is a bit of guilt being a retired cop. Whether reading about cops fighting a battle with evil, or driving by an officer working a scene, we feel like we should be there. We should be their backup, their 10-94, shoulder-to-shoulder.
We especially feel this twinge of guilt on holidays, knowing our brothers and sisters in blue are on the street, sacrificing their time, their family and their safety to protect our communities. That feeling is like I've let them down. Even though passing the torch is inevitable, if your a cop's cop you never fully walk away, That bond is too strong. I feel it, and I know our team feels it.
If you get an opportunity to tell a police officer you appreciate them, please do it. This calling to protect and serve takes a heavy personal toll. There is no shortage of criticism for police, but they could use a little praise.
To all of the current LEOs, especially the rank and file pulling these tough shifts away from family, thank you so much for your service. You are much appreciated. -Team CERA
