As a result of national events, continuous requests from members, students who have taken our courses, and safety conscious decision makers at churches, civic organizations, elderly care facilities, schools and area businesses, we are now offering this intensive 11 hour course.  Out of necessity, organizations can no longer only implement non-firearm protocols to deal with such horrifying and deadly incidents.  The need for ready, willing, capable and well trained armed personnel who are on scene and who move to the call of gunfire with the goal of bringing the incident to a successful resolution is the RESPONSIBLE AND PROVEN MOST EFFECTIVE RESPONSE to such situations.

This course will prepare those responsible for protecting individuals in any facility to bring such incidents to successful resolution.  Emphasis is on mental preparation for responding to such incidents and advocates an aggressive response protocol in addition to providing participants with real-world firearms and armed response skills to successfully resolve such incidents.

Training blocks include:

• Review of trends in active killer incidents around the country over past 50 years
• Legal aspects of the use of deadly force
• Mental preparation for confrontation
• Experiencing and Managing fear and stress in deadly encounters
• The Sheepdog mentality and related issues
• Coordinated aggressive response utilizing the “move to the call of gunfire” concept
• Acceptable outcomes
