According to the Naples Daily News, the active shooter training — available from agencies including Collier County Sheriff's Office, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Naples Police Department, Marco Island Police Department, and Fort Myers Police Department — is based on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol.

“Training empowers people to think you’re not helpless. You do have options,” said Sergeant Neal Bohannon of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
