The comprehensive report prepares a hospitality property for a hostile attack, and includes a review of security assessments, staff training, response plans and active shooter response.

"With all of the global developments around public safety, HFTP saw a need for a high level document on the topic" said HFTP Global President Arlene Ramirez, CHAE, CHE, CHIA, MBA, principal at ADR Hospitality Consulting and on the faculty at the C.N. Hilton College, University of Houston. "Although public safety in hospitality is a slight departure from finance and technology education, we felt that education on this topic is critical."

It encourages organizations to implement appropriate security measures, collaborate with local authorities and train staff in proper prevention and reaction methods.
