In this second of two episodes we devote to policing and active shooter incidents, recently-retired, police LT. Fred Leland describes the differences between management and leadership; mistakes and gross negligence; success and failure during response. He talks about the role of leaders and how written policies and procedures shouldn't be used as a substitute for good judgement or as simply a shield against risk because in both cases, they seldom work.
Join George Whitney each week as he speaks with people making a difference in emergency management. They talk about what works, what doesn't, how to work efficiently, and how to get it done with maximum effect.

Do you drive a government or company vehicle in the course of your duty as an Emergency Manager? Do you take it home? Is it equipped with emergency lights and sirens? In this episode of the Complete EM Podcast, contributor Jeb Lacey of RS Network Consulting, and George Whitney, founder of Complete EM, have a little fun and get serious about the importance of knowing the responsibility and risk associated with take-home vehicle use.
