Active Shooter Seminar
Mass shootings in the United States are on the rise. From January 1 to June 25, 2021, there were more than 300 events, killing 336 and injuring 1,263. A mass shooting is an event with at least four victims shot – not including the shooter.
Our Active Shooter seminars train people in what to do in those critical minutes after someone with a gun enters a building and before law enforcement and medical help arrive. Our goal is to help organizations respond appropriately if violence strikes.
The seminar, taught by experienced lawman Lt. Chip Holland and Dr. Melanie Hoppers, a certified tactical physician, provides practical classroom instruction on what to do in the event of an active shooter, both to protect oneself and know how best to keep from interfering with law enforcement in a critical situation.
The seminar includes a facility walkthrough and written action plan.
The final portion of the seminar, taught by Dr. Hoppers, gives attendees hands-on experience in controlling life-threatening bleeding, correct tourniquet use, wound packing, and safe lift and carry techniques.
Who benefits? Any organization where people gather. We provide training for businesses of all sizes and an array of other organizations, such as churches and community groups.
Know what to do. Learn how to prepare. Schedule an active shooter seminar.
