Training Objectives

Define active shooter characteristics and the unpredictable nature of an assault

Build survival muscle memory through mental preparation and regular practice

Course Overview

Most active shooter incidents are over in minutes, often before law enforcement arrives.

In these high-pressure moments, the biggest threat to your safety isn't just the attacker; it is your own brain's "freeze" response. When chaos hits and information is scarce, logic often fails, and instinct takes over. But what happens if your instincts haven't been trained?

This training short breaks down the profile of an active shooter to help you understand the erratic nature of these assaults. We focus on mental rehearsal, the practice of building the "muscle memory" required to act immediately. Watch this video to learn how to reprogram your natural reactions, push past the initial shock, and navigate a crisis when seconds count.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

An active shooter is "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area".

No, there is generally no pattern or specific method to the shooter’s selection of victims.

These situations are often fast-evolving and tend to last only 10 to 15 minutes before law enforcement arrives.

Mental preparation is the only way to be truly ready, helping to build a "muscle-memory" or learned instinct for an unpredictable situation.

A potential victim may have low information, limited communication options, no choice of location, and their brain may feel completely paralyzed or be running very fast.
