Has Your School Prepared To Face An Armed Intruder Crisis Just As You Do For Fires Or Natural Disasters?
Increase Confidence and the Odds of Survival —- An unexpected crisis is mentally and emotionally overwhelming. Without practical, action-oriented training, teachers and school staff will fail to take the appropriate measures because they won’t know how. An active shooter emergency action plan gives your staff the information they need to survive and protect students.
Request a DemoIn an active shooter situation, you don’t have time to wait for law enforcement to arrive. The reality is that 95% of fatalities occur in the first four minutes after the shooter opens fire. That’s when active shooter response training and an active shooter emergency action plan make a difference. Within the past year, every time well-prepared teachers responded to an active shooter, they were able to prevent 100% of fatalities.
Request a DemoTeachers and school staff who’ve received thorough, comprehensive active shooter response training feel less anxiety about the possibility of a crisis. They’re better equipped to talk with students. Having accurate information reduces fear and uncertainty, and having a plan reduces the risks.
