About Us

VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED - OUR TRAINING IS ENDORSED BY THE HOMELAND SECURITY FOUNDATION OF AMERICA

We do things differently than other active threat training programs.

We realize that each location and type of facility is different. Each has unique individual needs and requirements from training that will actually be effective for the specific location. Many active threat training systems offer a “one size fits all” type training that utilizes the familiar Run, Hide, and Fight premise. We offer an inclusive site survey that allows us to assess your existing safety and security measures, and we offer suggestions on how to enhance those measures. We utilize information from the tours and site surveys to customize active threat training for your staff and for your facility. For example, we look for escape routes, exits, and safe rally points so that we can discuss them with your staff during training and we teach them how to properly, and safely, utilize them. We look for areas and rooms that could be utilized by staff if they needed to lock down and hide during an active threat situation, and we teach them proper techniques for securing and barricading those areas. The idea behind this is when an active threat situation occurs there is no time to think and look for safe places, if staff already know where those locations are they will react quicker and safer.

After training is completed our job is not finished, unlike other active threat trainers. We assist with writing and implementing policies and procedures that clearly show staff how to utilize the training. We act as liaison with local law enforcement and EMS so they are aware of the training your staff has completed, and so they know where rally points are so they can respond to them to keep people safe that escaped. We assist you with setting up continued training of current staff and any newly hired staff, we allow video recording of the training sessions to be utilized for those situations. We assist with setting up drills and practice sessions, so staff can keep the training fresh and continue to keep the training fresh.

And, we also assist you with understanding liability and mitigation processes involved after an active threat situation occurs. We advise you to check liability insurance policies to make sure that you have coverage for damages incurred during an active threat event, many thought they did have coverage only to find that they did not. We discuss with you how having this training and proper policies and procedures in place can greatly reduce your liability if an active threat situation occurs. Active threat situations can be devasting and result in loss of life, injuries, and property damage. But more importantly they can drastically affect those who survive the mental trauma of being in such a dangerous situation witnessing the outcomes. It is important to be prepared to assist the survivors with grief counseling and other beneficial programs.

 

 

 

 

Our training program, combined with our partnership with Innovative Rescue Solutions, has been adopted by the Homeland Security Foundation of America and their AWARE Campaign. We travel and speak at HSFA sponsored events and Town Hall meetings to promote active threat training across the country. Our mission is to train as many people as possible to be prepared for active threat situations, and to create the survivor mentality.
