Law and Disorder | Reflecting on Columbine: 25 Years Later

04.24.2024

25 years ago, the world watched as two armed students killed 12 of their classmates and one teacher at Columbine High School and ushered a society out of an age of innocence. In the quarter of a century since the tragedy, Columbine has remained at the forefront of many conversations, informing decisions about law enforcement responses to active shooter incidents, and public concerns for the mental health of our youth. In this month’s episode of Law and Disorder, we examine the reasons why we continue to talk about Columbine, both in the Law Enforcement field and as a society, and illuminate why the lessons of Columbine continue to matter.
