Most people do not consider the possibility of ever experiencing a tragedy such as an active shooter event. Unfortunately, active shooter incidents have increased at an alarming rate over the last several years.  In fact, active shooter incidents have become more pronounced within the last decade. There have been over 250 active shooter incidents reported in the United States just from 2000 to 2020.

Active shooter preparedness has rapidly become a necessity in today’s society. Understanding this information will allow for existing safety and preparedness gaps for all businesses, churches and schools to increase the likelihood of survival rates in the face of an active shooter event.

Our active shooter training model supports the natural human fight or flight instincts. We highlight the three step strategy of run, hide, or fight and how to successfully apply this training in a real life event. In fact, the “run, hide, fight” preparation module is often applied by many first responders.

One should run as far as they can from the area and contact authorities as soon as they are safe enough to call 911.  If evacuating the vicinity is not an option, one should hide, especially in a place you can either barricade or lock. Finally, when previous safety measures are exhausted, one should be prepared to fight; the way the force is projected can be through the use of items or your body.

Effectiveness of active shooter training helps ease the level of anxiety and gives a sense of preparedness in the event of a mass shooting attack. We are working towards problem-solving the pervasive issue of mass shootings nationwide. We believe that the continued efforts of these entities may result in solutions that diminish the prevalence of these types of horrific incidents. Furthermore, we mourn with all individuals and families who have lost loved ones to the brutal and senseless attack of mass shootings.
