Active Shooter Training

Why your organization needs active shooter preparedness training

Active shooter incidents are unpredictable, and they can evolve rapidly. During the chaos, anyone involved can play a vital role in lessening the impact of an active shooter incident. Active Violence Emergency Response Training prepares your team with active shooter training resources that help you and your organization understand warning signs and respond to a potential active shooter incident.

Recent active shooter incidents have shown the importance of a rapid response. Every second counts when active violence occurs and active shooter training teaches you the tools that allow you to quickly react and make decisions on whether to escape, evade, or attack.

TRAINING OVERVIEW

What We Teach:

Recognize early warning signs of a potential aggressor
Strategically escape, evade, or engage during the critical first seconds of an attack
Apply bleeding control techniques that save lives (Stop the Bleed Certification offered)
React decisively in violent or emergency situations through realistic simulation training
Build advanced situational awareness for everyday environments

This is not a lecture. Not a seminar. Not a PowerPoint presentation in a community center.

This is hands-on training designed to empower you.
Our training puts you in realistic scenarios that teach you how to think, move, and act under pressure. You’ll learn how to fight back, escape effectively, and save lives when seconds matter.

DURATION: 3 Hours

Participants will receive basic information on what to expect in a short, online module followed by classroom instruction that uses dynamic techniques with hands-on training to reinforce the taught life-saving skills.

Is Active shooter or workplace violence training required by OSHA?

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act, or the Act), the extent of an employer's obligation to address workplace violence is governed by the General Duty Clause, which is often interpreted to include protection from workplace violence.

Stop the Bleed

After a severe injury, a person can bleed to death in as little as 3 minutes. When there is an active shooter in your church and people have been wounded, helping those who have been hurt with emergency bleeding techniques until first responders get to the scene is critical. Our training will give your church leaders, volunteers, and congregation the skills necessary to do that.

In particular, AVERT delivers training that focuses on how to stop the bleeding in an emergency. The correct emergency bleeding control techniques will save lives during and immediately after an active shooter scenario, so these techniques are vital to understand.

Emergency Response Tactics

Knowing exactly how to respond in an emergency situation is not always as easy as it might sound. The right techniques and an understanding of how to escape and evade harm, while also protecting others is what we offer through our training courses.

Training with AVERT ensures everyone participating in the program has a solid and practical understanding of active shooter response procedures and how to deploy them if the need ever arises.

Live Scenario Simulations

As part of the training we offer, we implement a live shooter scenario simulation. This allows all the people participating in the training course to experience how an active shooter situation might play out in a safe and controlled way.

It is hard to know how you and those around you will respond to an active shooter situation until you are actually experiencing it and living through it. A live simulation will give you the opportunity to find out where improvements need to be made.

While not a complete or diagnostic list, some behaviors that may suggest a risk of workplace violence include:

Growing dependence on alcohol or illicit substances
Frequent absences without clear reasons; vague or recurring health complaints
Decline in personal grooming and cleanliness
Signs of depression or social withdrawal
Strong opposition to, or difficulty accepting, changes in rules or procedures
Persistent disregard for workplace policies
Sudden and extreme shifts in mood
Emotional reactions that seem disproportionate or unpredictable
Outbursts of anger or aggression that appear unwarranted
Comments suggesting suicidal thoughts or the desire to “settle affairs”
Suspicious behavior or beliefs that others are out to get them
