How is the Active Shooter Response Training different from a standard active shooter presentation?

Most active shooter presentations focus primarily on awareness and theory. The GDI Active Shooter Response Training program goes beyond traditional classroom instruction by incorporating scenario-based training designed to place participants in realistic decision-making environments. Through guided scenarios and applied practical exercises, participants learn to recognize threats, manage stress, make critical decisions under pressure, and apply emergency response procedures in reality-based situations that are tailored to the unique environment of each school, district, workplace, or organization.

Who should attend the Actice Shooter Response training?

The program is intended for school administrators, teachers, support staff, school resource officers, district leadership, security personnel, employees, and other stakeholders responsible for safety and emergency preparedness. Because active assailant incidents can affect every area of an organization, the training is designed to provide role-specific insights while helping participants understand how their actions contribute to an effective overall response.

Are the Protect-Her classes exclusive to women only?

Yes, and for a good reason. This course provides a safe environment for women to express vulnerability and weakness on their paths to cultivating confidence, strength and empowerment within a supporting community of women. Sorry gents, we only allow women to attend; there are no male students allowed in this course of instruction.

Is there an age minimum to attend the Protect-Her class?

Yes, we feel the appropriate maturity level is 13 years old.

Is previous training experience required to take the Active Shooter Response or Protect-Her classes currently offered?

No, both courses are designed for all student experience levels.
