Our Flagship Course:

Active Shooter Response Training


This course can be utilized as a refresher class to clients who have had prior training but would like a yearly refresher class, or it can be a full-length class for clients who have never had formal training. Just as you might take a CPR, Cyber Security, or other safety-related training at your school, church or place of business, Active Shooter Response Training is an essential training in today's world. We offer data-driven response protocols, preplanning strategies, avoidance techniques, and discuss "lessons learned" from past incidents.


This is a great class for in service training, continuing education, or monthly safety meetings.

What to expect

This course is designed for adults of all ages and abilities. The class will be presented by an in-person instructor, in a classroom setting, using visual aids and "chalk board" scenarios. The class can be taught at the client's location, or if needed, a local venue can be secured. The length and cost of the course varies depending on the needs and size of the class.
