About Our Team
At Active Shooter Response Solutions, we are uniquely qualified to prepare people and organizations for the realities of violence in today’s world.
The unfortunate truth is that active threat incidents continue to rise across America — in schools, workplaces, churches, and public spaces. Our team exists to meet that reality head-on, helping people and institutions build the confidence, infrastructure readiness, and practical skills needed to protect life.
"Everything we do, is For the Preservation of Life."
Proven in Action.
Our instructors include those who have survived the deadliest mass shooting in American history, Special Operations veterans who have served in the world’s most dangerous environments, and SWAT officers and paramedics who have responded to active threats across the country.
Together, this experience enables us to deliver training that’s grounded in reality. We’ve prepared social workers, church security teams, businesses, and universities across the country. Every one of our offerings builds confidence and readiness so you can live without fear, protect the lives of your people and shield your organization from liability.
Led by Experience.
Led by Kyle Sproles — Army Special Forces Green Beret, executive protection specialist, and founder of ASR Solutions — our team brings decades of experience confronting threats across the globe and at home.
Kyle’s background in embassy threat response, site security assessments and executive protection, combined with years of training military, law enforcement, and civilian teams, drives the mission that defines everything we do: to prepare others to respond confidently when life is on the line.
Trusted By Organizations Nationwide
From higher education to corporate offices and places of worship — organizations across the country trust ASR Solutions to prepare their teams for the unthinkable.
This is my second training with Active Shooter Response Solutions! My church security team had the opportunity to train mentally and physically to prepare for an active shooter situation. This was an invaluable opportunity and got our team on the same page. I would recommend ASRS to any school, business, place of worship, or large capacity venue.

Church Security Team Member
Excellent presentation! I’ve participated in 8-10 active threat workshops, this was by far the best. Practical, common sense practices and tools that are easy to remember and use.
William
University Administrator
I can’t recommend Kyle and ASR enough! From the moment the training started, it was clear that Kyle is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about teaching. He has a way of making you feel comfortable even when the subject matter can be stressful or intimidating. The training helped me build confidence and improve my skills significantly. Thank you, Kyle, for an outstanding experience!
Robbie
Armed Security Team Member, Pennsylvania
This was the best active shooter training I have ever attended. Coming from education, we were always only prepared with the “Run, Hide, Fight” technique. This training taught and equipped us with even more options for surviving emergency situations. Highly recommend for every school (and other) active shooter trainings.

University Staff, Pennsylvania
Kyle is a remarkable human being with deep rooted skills and experience as a GB/Special Forces soldier, and a passion for building a company that matters; to keep people safe/save lives. He is a servant leader with the kind of invaluable knowledge and people skills every American wants (needs) in their corner when it comes to the growing active shooter threats in our country and abroad.
RJ
Business Owner, Arlington Virginia
Kyle Sproles has been such a pleasure to collaborate with! At each step of working together he truly went above and beyond to make sure he met our team’s needs. Prior to our active shooter training he met with us several times to ensure his training was catered to our specific program needs.
After the training he checked-in with our team to ensure we weren’t left with any training gaps and offered to follow-up to address any additional concerns staff brought to us later. We are thoroughly pleased and would be more than happy to work with Kyle again in the future!
Nicole Sornson
Health Education Coordinator University of Kentucky
As an attorney and the owner and CEO of a defense company, I have had the opportunity to work with Kyle Sproles on more than one occasion. I have consulted with him in areas of active shooter assessments, casualty medical care, mission specific equipment selection, and high value personal asset protection. His knowledge, passion, and communication skills are second to none.
Mr. Sproles is without question the most well-rounded and experienced instructor that I have trained under, and he remains my top call for training and special projects. His professionalism and high moral character are what should be expected of all instructors. I would recommend Mr. Sproles to anyone, from the individual wanting personal training, to the CEO needing personal protection and corporate training.
Joshua T. Crain, J.D., LL.M.
Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, and a great communicator in our training session. He knows what he’s talking about and is passionate about equipping people with the necessary tools and strategies to keep them and those around them safe. I feel much more confident and prepared for a crisis thanks to Kyle’s services!

Our program partnered with Active Shooter Response Solutions to provide an Active Threat Response course as part of an on-site conference and a virtual follow-up. This course provided a lot of valuable, personalized information for our team to address safety concerns in multiple settings…In both the live and virtual settings there were opportunities to discuss actual scenarios and appropriate responses to ensure both the safety of our staff and our participants. This training was engaging and provided valuable tools for our staff to implement while planning activities with safety in mind, and to react to events as they occur in the field. I would highly recommend this training for other agencies!

Your Campus Qualifies for Federal Safety Grants. Here’s Why You’re Not Getting Them.
Every year, millions of dollars in federal campus safety grant funding go unclaimed. It’s not because universities don’t qualify or the application process is impossible. But most institutions are missing a single prerequisite that virtually every major federal campus safety grant program requires before an institution can even submit an application. That prerequisite is a…

Why Active Shooter Training Is Critical for Every University & College Campus in 2026

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Active Shooter Response Solutions specializes in active threat response training for higher education institutions nationwide. Our programs serve both secular and faith-based universities, liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and large research institutions. We offer BECON™ faculty and staff training, campus public safety officer training, student preparedness programs, Threat and Vulnerability Assessments (TVAs), and full-scale active threat rehearsals. Every program is custom-built for the specific campus environment.
Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) is your gateway to grant funding. It’s a comprehensive evaluation of a university or corporate campus that identifies physical security vulnerabilities, gaps in emergency response infrastructure, and weaknesses in active threat preparedness. Active Shooter Response Solutions TVAs evaluate building entry points and access control, sight lines and surveillance coverage, emergency communication systems, existing emergency action plans and policies, perimeter security, and active threat response capability across your campus. The assessment produces a detailed written report with prioritized recommendations.
BECON™ is ASR Solutions' proprietary active threat response framework developed from real-world law enforcement and Special Forces experience. BECON™ stands for Barricade, Escape, Control, Oppose, Notify — a structured decision-making framework that prepares faculty, staff, and students to respond effectively to an active threat in their specific environment. Generic Run-Hide-Fight programs are easy to remember in the moment, but can lack instrumental details and decision making abilities of the individual. BECON™ is interactive, in-depth, and designed to build genuine situational awareness and confident decision-making rather than a reactive survival instinct.
