Active Threat/Shooter Training

Overview of Active Threat/Shooter Situations

Active threat and shooter situations have unfortunately become a reality in today’s world. Law enforcement agencies across the country have developed and adopted various strategies and response plans to address these critical incidents. However, many of these strategies are designed primarily for unarmed civilians, who have little to no training, and typically rely on law enforcement officers to stop the threat.

In these high-stress, life-threatening environments, response time is crucial. Though having a trained response team is ideal, it’s often the case that an individual officer will be the first on the scene and must take immediate action to prevent further harm or loss of innocent life.

At Asymmetric Solutions, we offer specialized training to ensure officers are prepared to respond effectively to these high-stakes situations.
