ASSET Training involves but is not limited to:

ACTIVE SHOOTER – Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Because active shooter incidents are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation. We will begin by showing data collected from more than 50 Active shooters, finding similarities along the way which will lead you to a conclusion that answers the question – what can be done to Survive Escape/Engagethe threat? Once you’ve learned all you can from these historical events you’ll begin to understand the importance of developing a plan to Survive, Escape and if you must Engage!

Survival Escape/Engage – 

Survival: The first and foremost priority in an active shooter situation is survival. Training begins with education on awareness and recognition of the signs of a potential shooter. Participants learn to be mindful of their environments and to always be aware of the nearest exits. Survival training also involves mental and emotional preparation, equipping individuals to remain calm under stress, which is crucial for making life-saving decisions rapidly.

Escape: Survival is the goal and escape is often the best means to that end. ASSET teaches participants to have a plan for rapid evacuation. This part of the training involves understanding how to identify safe escape routes and emphasizes the importance that if an opportunity to escape safely presents itself, it should be taken immediately. Trainees learn to assist others in escaping if possible but are also taught that in such situations, it may be necessary to prioritize their own escape to ensure their safety.

Engage: As a last resort, if survival is at stake and escape is not possible, trainees will be taught how to engage with the shooter. This does not necessarily mean confronting the shooter directly. Engagement strategies can include barricading doors, improvising weapons (and using ones you may already be carrying, for example Concealed firearms and or knives), and understanding how to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter if absolutely necessary. Training for engagement focuses on taking decisive action to survive, including how to disorient or disable the shooter until law enforcement arrives.
