>> announcer: abc 7, building a you do when itnd executive director of the public safety training institute with a look at the issue. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having us. >> a school shooting is every parents' worst nightmare and most schools are doing active shooter drills. in this case, does practice help or make perfect. it is never perfect but does it make a big difference? >> absolutely. active shooter, we've done -- if you think about, we've done fire drills in schools since the 1950s and when you look back, we have not had a single student harmed in the school fire in the last 70 years. active shooter drills are the new fire drills. schools, because of the risk of active shooter now occurring in schools, they have to do everything possible to safeguard our kids when they are on

campus. one of the things they're doing is providing active shooter drills. >> i wonder with the fire drills because i remember and my kids at school and it is like -- okay, we're going to have a fire drill and everybody -- fooling around and as they kind of stroll outside. it has to be taken much more seriously, obviously. >> you have to. think about it. would we want our kids to go to school and not do any active shooter drills and imagine if there was an active shooter drill today and they had not trained on what to do and how to protect yourself. it is much better to train our kids on what we want them to do in the calmness of the classroom than having not trained them and suddenly having this incident come to our schools. >> so let pl-- so let me jump i there. what should a parent tell a child or the teachers tells the kids. obviously run and get away is the first thing. but beyond that. >> well a couple of things of the -- for the parents ifors requiredcalifornia every

to submit a safety plan to the state every year. and part of that safety plan is an active shooter response plan and they develop these plans wih local law enforcement. so that is the first thing. understand that our schools are going above and beyond to keep our kids safe. we do teach -- in the school and that is the priority. if y if you can run, we want you to run and get out of there. but if you can't run because the threat is in front of you, then we teach you then you have to hide and when we say hide we mean barricade. and if you can't barricade, then as a last resort, then it is -- then you have to do whatever you can do to go back home to your family that day. >> now as a retired s.w.a.t. commander, you've seen these situations before. fortunately we haven't had school shootings in california, at least in the bay area. from the police side of this, you walking into a situation where you have no idea what you're going to encounter. that is somewhat frightening?

>> well it is y fromhe lawnforment point of view, we train for this every day. and when an officer is on the beat and they're -- their beat going through how do i respond if there an active shooting at the high school or a business on my beat. they're mentally preparing for it in addition to the physical training that we go through. >> what is the one thing that people in general, whether it be teachers or students should not do in these situations? >> dealing with law enforcement? >> well in an active shooter situation when the police are coming up and they don't know who is doing the shooting? >> exactly. they don't know. they know somebody is there with a weapon and running in while everybody else is running out. let them know they are not the threat. see the hands and put the phones soe know.ome out with yond ofrerained from the first day they go into the academy that hands are what is going to hurt you because of the

weapons that the hands possess. so if they are running into a situation like that, they are not looking at your face. they're looking at everybody's hands as they're runningfy wher they could stop that threat. >> well hopefully we won't see any threats in this area from any shootings. thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you for having us. and as part of abc 7 commitment to building a better bay area, we have spent this entire week focusing on your safety. we've covered a wide range of topics from protecting your home to yourself out in public and looked at several apps for mobile devices to alert you if you are in danger. your safety also means thwarting car burglars and defending yourself. >> breaking into a car can help in an instant so here at able towing inreooyy' offered me this cinder block and a junk car to test it out. so as you could see, it just took a second to gain access to your vehicle. >> look for something of value. so for one thing you always want to lock your vehicle. the other thing would be make sure that nothing of value is

i think the temple is unique in terms of the monumental structure. as you look at the temple, the architects did not put windows in the temple. most of the temples do have windows in it and they were trying to create a monumental effect and i think they did it quite successfully. the church likes to select a location where the temple has some visibility and this is one of the most stunning locations of any temple in the church here high in the oakland hills. we are truly remarkable and it has turned into a beacon for ships that are coming through the golden gate. i think most importantly it is a beacon for all of us to draw our thoughts heaven ward and to think about the more important things in life. >> grounds are gorgeous. >> the architecture is stunning for sure. >> interesting. well tour the temple now through june 1st. thanks for joining us for abc7 news at 4:00. i'm larry beil. >> and i'm ama daetz. abc7 news at 5:00 stan va convertions w home depot,
