Active Shooter Incident Management
Active Shooter Incident Management (ASIM) Basic 4-hour
The Active Shooter Incident Management 4-hour performance level direct delivery course is designed to improve incident management and integration of LE, Fire, EMS responders to active shooter events. The course provides a model framework for use by law enforcement, fire and EMS to manage active shooter event response to improve time to threat neutralization, medical intervention, and survivability of casualties. The framework utilized the Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist™, a validated active shooter event response checklist integrating best practices guided by principle of the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) 8-hour
The School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) course is designed to bring school personnel and emergency responders together to improve incident management and response integration to violent events in schools.

Training
Law Enforcement Training
Our instructors have years of experience in various aspects of law enforcement training and can provide or develop a course that meets your training goals. We offer basic and advanced courses solo officer patrol tactics, guiding principles of law enforcement officer safety, room/building clearing, and firearms training. We also customize courses specific for patrol, undercover operations, tactical teams, and more.
School Safety Planning and Training
"School Safety" is a very broad and sometimes daunting term. We focus on what your priorities and needs are and work with you to enhance your plans, training, drills, and exercises without losing balance between safety/security and a positive learning environment.
Integrated Response
A key ingredient in managing an active assailant incident is an integrated and coordinated response. After years of conducting "active shooter" drills, training and exercises we have found that often times there is a gap between the initial responders and the follow on supervisory/command staff and additional agencies that arrive. We can assist with getting everyone to work under a common operating picture and process.
Public Safety Telecommunicators
Public Safety Telecommunicators play an integral part in the response to "active shooter" events. Our training provides detailed information and data regarding active shooter events, critical benchmarks that should be met during an incident, and responding officer/agency considerations. We also provide guiding principles and fundamentals of crisis communications (hostage negotiation) for dispatchers.
