Summary/Abstract: Educational institutions can become targets for active killers and this threat seems greater today than it did a few years ago. The aim of the article is to describe the main elements and proposals for securing these facilities against attacks of this type of perpetrators, which are recommended in the United States, and then to indicate solutions that could be introduced in Polish facilities. They concern both physical security and broadly understood prevention and monitoring of threats.
