The unfortunate frequency and increase in Active Shooter events over the past two decades have been the cause of a great deal of anxiety across many sectors of our society. Those operating workplaces, entertainment venues, houses of worship, schools, etc., have an obligation to foster safe environments for these activities and to help prepare those they oversee for these low frequency/high consequence events. 

We offers trainings and guidance designed to help recognize threats, identify appropriate responses, and prioritize and implement response actions designed to increase opportunities for survival. The trainings are intended to provide viable options to all participants, regardless of perceived ability, and do so without relying on methods and materials which rely heavily on fear or intimidation.

Target Audience: All Staff, including Supervisors and Managers 

Participants will begin by gaining a better understanding of existing security measures and protocols already in place. They will then learn to contribute to and enhance the overall safety and security of the facility using observational skills, as well as how to identify actions and behaviors which may compromise security and the appropriate means to react to and report such observations. 

Audience: All Staff, including Supervisors and Managers 

Participants will learn about the types of targeted violence that may occur in the workplace. The session will describe and discuss common motives for attacks, along with the pre-incident behaviors generally associated with those who carry out violent acts. The concept of forming and utilizing Behavioral Assessment Teams may also be included. For Human Resources personnel and Managers, this session may be tailored to discuss incorporating assessments into matters involving employee terminations, and policies addressing Workplace Violence, Harassment, Discrimination, etc.)
