Preparing for the day that is NOT like yesterday ...

This photo was taken by Virginia Tech student Chase Damiano in Holden Hall during the massacre in the adjoining building of Norris Hall. Why did these young American adults choose to stay close to lethal danger in an unsecured area? Because that is what they have been trained to do! This action has just as much potential to increase the casualty numbers as mitigating them. There cannot be only one strategy available when responding to extreme violence.

Our A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) program is a comprehensive approach, advocating integrated strategies incorporating Environmental Design, Technology & Communication, Law Enforcement Response, and the oft missing link - ACTION by those in immediate danger because they are the real First Responders.

We teach Common Sense that isn't Common Knowledge.

Our Solo-Engagement Tactics Courses are only for police and licensed, armed security personnel. These courses foster the Warrior Mindset and provide strategies and skills that will allow the first-on-scene officer to make an impact without wasting precious minutes, or even seconds, waiting for help. Those under attack need help more.
