ACTIVE SCHOOL SHOOTER RESPONSE TRAINING
Learning to respond to Active Threat situations has become an unfortunate necessity in today’s society, with fatal consequences for the unprepared.
The APPS Active Threat Response course is an intensive eight (8) hour classroom/practical application/firing range course designed for Security Guards/Officers in pursuit of advanced level training in responding to active threat situations in an academic environment. This course is not recommended for inexperienced firearm users. This course explores the additional danger statistically inherent to academic institutions at higher risk for active threat attacks, and the use of a firearm along with the mindset required to resolve high threat dynamic problem-scenarios where preservation of life often requires the immediate neutralization of active assailants.
This physically demanding course involves academic lecture, practical skill exercises, force-on-force training, and live fire range components.
