In the wake of another national tragedy, Sheriff Fred Harran asks a critical question: Are school shootings preventable?

Sheriff Harran is joined by Bucks Co. Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Lang, for a candid, no-nonsense discussion on school safety. Deputy Lang's expertise is forged from decades of high-level tactical and instructional experience. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he served as Military Police with deployments to Central America for counter-drug operations and multiple tours in Iraq. His career in Bucks County began in 2005 as a Correctional Officer before he became a Deputy Sheriff in 2007. Currently, he serves as an operator and instructor for the South Central SWAT team. His extensive list of certifications includes NTOA Active Shooter Instructor, Texas University's renowned ALERRT active attack response training, and numerous instructor-level qualifications in firearms, tactical shooting, and less-lethal munitions.

Together, they explore the grim history of school shootings in America and confront the cycle of public grief followed by inaction. This episode moves beyond thoughts and prayers to provide a concrete blueprint for prevention. Deputy Lang explains the tactical concept of “hardening the target” and breaks down the modern “Avoid, Deny, Defend” strategy that has replaced the old “Run, Hide, Fight” model. From AI weapon-detection technology to the critical role of SROs and life-saving “Stop the Bleed” training, this is a crucial conversation about the practical, achievable steps we can take to protect our nation’s most valuable asset: our children.
