The Active Shooter Response - Personal Protection 1/2 Day, 1 Day, and 2 Day courses will focus on the attendee's development and elemental principles of situational awareness, survival, and a winning mindset to prevail over the life-threatening realities of a violent Active Shooter / Active Assailant attack.
The program's focus on Situational Awareness and Avoidance, along with the development of a Preemptive Offensive Mindset, provides the students with an effective survival tool kit.
