ASIM Checklist 1.4

Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist Review

This document presents a comprehensive overview of the Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist™ (ASIM), intended for use by law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services responding to active shooter situations of moderate complexity. The checklist delineates clear responsibilities for responders from the initial arrival of law enforcement through subsequent support agencies, emphasizing a structured approach to incident management.

The ASIM Checklist articulates essential tasks and sequences them logically, facilitating systematic response efforts. While designed for broad applicability across various communities, it is recommended that each agency assesses the relevance and suitability of the checklist in context with local staffing levels, community needs, and specific risk factors.
