lockdown drills
Intruder response practice
Lockdown drills are practice exercises in schools and workplaces that rehearse responses to armed intruders or other violent threats.
Participants typically shelter in place, lock doors, turn off lights, and remain silent until the drill ends.
The practice became widespread in American schools following mass shootings in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The kindergartners practiced lockdown drills alongside fire drills.
