Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose an Active Shooter instructor?
There is certainly no shortage of "experts" when it comes to Active Shooter training. This can make it very daunting to decide who is the real deal. Do not rely on a person's profession alone. Simply because someone is a Police Officer does not mean they are qualified in Active Shooter Preparation or Education, frankly the vast majority are not. Request what their certifications are. What specific training and licensing do they have in Active Shooter Awareness. Next, what is their experience in Active Shooter training; did they just attend a class and yet never actually worked in the Active Shooter Field or did they spend extensive time in an Active Shooter Program? When in doubt, ask to see their resume, make them put their background in writing, it's your money and your life that's at stake.
Lastly, if an instructor ever says "my way is the best way", get a refund right now!!!
