Just an update to my training credentials. Last week I attended and successfully completed the Active Shooter Threat Instructor Training Program at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) located in Glynco, Georgia. Thus... I am now a certified Active Shooter Threat Response Instructor... hoot....hoot.

While much of the training does have a "law enforcement sensitivity" aspect to it, there are some limited applications/techniques suitable for inclusion in the classes I offer.

If you work in the public domain, whether it be an office complex (small or large), mall, restaurant, or school... ask your employer if there is an active shooter response protocol in place. If not, I'd be more than happy to assist your employer in assessing your workplace, identifying needs, and developing a response plan.

Active shooter incidents are a reality... it's no longer a matter of IF... it's now become a matter of WHEN/WHERE.

A good video to watch...
