Active Shooter Training

Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVERT) is a dynamic, life-saving program designed to empower everyday individuals with the skills and mindset needed to act decisively during a crisis. In today’s world, where the threat of active violence can strike unexpectedly—in schools, workplaces, places of worship, and public gatherings—being prepared isn’t just a good idea. It’s a necessity.

AVERT goes far beyond traditional active shooter training. This comprehensive program teaches you how to recognize early warning signs of violence before a situation escalates. You’ll gain critical insight into human behavior, situational awareness, and threat assessment so you can spot potential danger and respond effectively—before shots are ever fired.

But recognizing a threat is only part of the equation. What truly sets AVERT apart is its dual focus on reacting swiftly during an active violence incident and providing emergency medical care to victims. In the chaos of an active shooter scenario, every second matters. Through scenario-based drills and hands-on training, AVERT shows you how to respond quickly and make smart decisions under extreme pressure—whether that means escaping, barricading, or confronting the threat as a last resort.

One of the most valuable components of AVERT is its “Stop the Bleed” training. You’ll learn how to provide immediate first aid to victims of traumatic injuries—skills that can literally mean the difference between life and death. You’ll be trained in using tourniquets, packing wounds, and applying pressure to control severe bleeding until professional medical responders arrive. These techniques are simple, effective, and proven to save lives.

AVERT is built on real-world experiences and best practices used by law enforcement, military personnel, and emergency medical responders. Yet it’s designed for civilians—regular people who may find themselves in extraordinary situations. Whether you’re a teacher, business owner, parent, or church member, AVERT equips you with the confidence and competence to act in a crisis—not freeze in fear.

This training isn’t about living in paranoia. It’s about embracing the reality that preparedness empowers us. By taking AVERT, you become part of the solution. You’ll walk away knowing how to protect yourself, help others, and potentially save lives in the most critical moments.

If your organization, school, or community hasn’t yet received AVERT training, now is the time. Don’t wait for tragedy to strike—prepare today, so you can respond with courage, clarity, and control when it matters most.
