Why Active Shooter Training Matters

Active shooter events are fast, brutal, and chaotic. Most of these tragic events take place in open, public spaces like malls, schools, and workplaces, where there’s little protection and a lot of potential victims. The scariest part? A lot of harm can be done before law enforcement even arrives. When seconds matter, we need well trained people to protect themselves and others. This is why it’s so important to train specifically for active shooter scenarios. When you can’t rely on help getting there in time. You need to be ready.
