Active Shooter Training

ACTIVE SHOOTER
PREPARATION & TRAINING

Increasing your chances of survival in active shooter situations can be trained. Making decisions, knowing your abilities and acting fast can be the difference between life & death in what has unfortunately become a regular occurrence in the United States.

Make the choice NOW to prepare yourself for the worst. See below for available workshops & programs.

I have been studying 'Active Shooter' situations ever since the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. As an employee at Higher Education Institutions, seeing what happened in Virginia shook me to the core. I made a decision to know everything I could about how to survive one if it ever happened to me (see relevant training certs here). I created this page less than two weeks after the murder-suicide at UCLA in June of 2016. I was locked down for several hours watching media reports of a coordinated attack of 4 shooters with assault rifles. My training & education served me and those with me well & I felt it was time to provide my knowledge to anyone else who is interested in having a better chance of getting through an attack of any kind. In coordination with UCPD (University of California Police Department) I have provided Active Shooter Training workshops to multiple departments and groups on UCLA's campus for the past 2 years. The information is not very technical nor difficult to understand and it can be presented in a short period of time. It can provide you with a foundation of training that can help save lives.
