Active Shooter Prevention, Preparedness, & Response

18A Workplace Violence and Active Shooter Prevention

This module prepares security professionals to recognize and address potential indicators of workplace violence and active shooter threats before an incident occurs. It emphasizes the difference between proactive and reactive security, the role of deterrence in violence prevention, and the importance of identifying suspicious behavior and potential threat indicators. Participants will examine how a potential attacker may plan and operate, learn to recognize opportunities for early intervention, and apply appropriate reporting and risk-mitigation practices. The module focuses on prevention as a critical security responsibility, with the goal of disrupting attack planning, reducing vulnerabilities, protecting people and assets, and deterring potential attackers before violence occurs.

18B Workplace Violence and Active Shooter Preparedness

This module prepares security professionals to strengthen workplace readiness for violence, active shooter incidents, and other security emergencies through proactive planning and preparedness. It covers assessing organizational capabilities and vulnerabilities, developing and testing security and emergency plans, establishing effective policies and procedures, and using training exercises and drills to evaluate readiness. Participants will learn how structured preparedness can identify weaknesses before an incident occurs, improve coordinated emergency response, reduce potential losses of life, time, and resources, and help organizations respond more effectively when critical threats arise.

18C Active Shooter Self Assessment Table Top

This module provides an applied self-assessment designed to reinforce security awareness and active shooter preparedness through realistic, scenario-based exercises. Participants will apply previously learned security principles to evaluate how they would recognize, assess, and respond when confronted with a potential attacker or active shooter situation. The assessment uses open-ended questions, case scenarios, personal reflection, and practical reference materials to test understanding, strengthen recall, and encourage critical thinking. By moving beyond traditional lecture-based training, the module helps participants identify gaps in their preparedness and translate security concepts into meaningful decisions and actions during high-risk situations.

18D Active Shooter Response

This module prepares security professionals to respond effectively during active shooter and workplace violence incidents through situational awareness, personal preparedness, and rapid decision-making. It covers recognizing threat vectors, evacuation techniques, identifying and using cover and concealment, lockdown procedures, and response options based on the Run, Hide, Fight methodology, including fighting back as a last resort. Through realistic case scenarios, participants will examine how active shooter incidents may evolve and develop practical strategies to improve personal resilience, make critical decisions under pressure, and increase their ability to protect themselves and survive until law enforcement arrives.

18E Active Shooter Response 5 Minute Briefing

This module provides a concise briefing on essential active shooter and workplace violence response principles for situations requiring immediate, split-second decisions. It reinforces situational awareness, personal preparedness, recognition of threat vectors, evacuation techniques, cover and concealment, lockdown procedures, and the Run, Hide, Fight methodology, including fighting back only as a last resort. Participants will review the critical actions that can improve personal resilience and help them respond quickly and effectively during an active shooter incident until law enforcement arrives.
