Active Shooter And Critical Incident Management Training
It is an unfortunate reality that in our time, business and people must take steps to protect themselves from senseless acts of violence. Businesses and public services are especially at risk and can be held accountable for securing their employees and patrons.
Our program can assist businesses and employees by training them on multiple avenues of action during an Active Shooter crisis. Our team of p.o.s.t. Certified instructors work with management and employees to help prepare them, not only for acts of violence but for any emergency.
We train on;
· Critical thinking during a stressful incident
· Coordination systems for first responders
· Equipment readiness for better survival
We prepare a certificate of ‘readiness’ you can provide to your insurance carrier and provide a yearly re-certification on critical incident readiness.
Our training program consists of 2 primary modules with different elective modules specifically for management.
Module I (Basic for all) is our active shooter training specifically designed for civilian response. This unique, hands-on training is derived from training we provide to SWAT teams, and active Law Enforcement that is fine tuned for use in the civilian world. This is customized specifically to your organization’s needs. We also include the federal guidelines, which include Evacuate, Shelter in Place, and Fight with improvised weapons (Run, Hide, Fight).
Module II (Advanced for management) consists of instruction on Incident Command System (ICS). We work with management teams who want to learn how to coordinate with first responders during an incident. This includes how to integrate the client’s response with first responders using state and federal guidelines in order to provide a universally recognized response.
Our HICS Elective Module is tailored to the medical profession and how management can ensure compliance to standards and practices as well incorporating TJC EM Standards and CA Legislation into managements action plan.
Our Post Critical Event Module helps management develop an action plan for working with employees and victims to mitigate PTSD.

Testimonials
- We just wanted to express our thanks and gratitude to PacBlu. They were kind enough to present a short course on safety measures and precautions to take should a potentially dangerous situation arise in our small medical office. They really enlightened us as to the importance of having a plan in place and what can be done for our safety as well as our patients' safety. Since we have a large homeless population in our area as well a drug rehabilitation facility,it has always been at the forefront that we could be at risk at any given time for untoward behaviors. Given the fact that we have only one way in and out of our office,we never thought we had options should any such event occur. PacBlu clarified and explained that we do have options until the police arrive. He had a plethora of helpful information and offered guidance in creating a plan of action. We are so appreciative of the awareness and tips we now have at our disposal thanks to him. We probably would not have sought this out on our own and so we feel very fortunate that our paths crossed.
