Active Shooter Simulation Training (ASST)
We are leaders in the Active Shooter Training industry for the workplace. Our Active Shooter Simulation Training (ASST) program is designed to train employees in the protocol for surviving an active shooter assault in the workplace. With our active shooter defense, awareness & preparedness training program, staff learn what to do in the event of an attack. Using action-driven, active shooter simulation scenarios with props, employees fully participate in the training to transform their mindsets from passive victim to active survivor and to create the muscle memory necessary to overcome the shock, fear and chaos of an assault. We are the real deal and are poles apart from other forms of training - law enforcement lectures, webinars, power points, consultations as they are highly ineffective; it is like learning to swim online

The ASST Training Philosophy
The Three Pillars
The ASST Program is grounded in the three foundational principles of Proactive Defense.
- Awareness
- Response
- Defense
ASST is a customized simulation training plan that includes an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for your facility. Your location specific ERP includes an evacuation protocol, identifies areas that provide adequate cover and areas that are dangerous. Simulation training covers weapons disarms, and EMT protocols. Simulation training creates muscle memory through active drills to help your staff overcome the shock, fear and chaos of an actual assault.

The ASST Training Program
Simulated Scenarios
Simulation Training is the only methodology that adequately prepares employees to take proper action during an attack. The Department of Homeland Security clearly states “The most effective way to train your staff is to conduct mock active shooter training exercises”. Classroom instruction, online courses and local law enforcement lectures can’t shift mindsets or create muscle memory.
Active Shooter Simulation Training shifts the mindsets of employees from passive victim to active survivor and creates the muscle memory necessary to survive an assault.

The ASST Trainers
Expertise & Experience
