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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
Yes. Active Shooter Response Solutions provides active threat response training specifically designed for church security teams. We work with churches of all sizes and denominations, delivering both armed and unarmed active threat response protocols, sanctuary and facility layout assessment, congregation protection strategies, and scenario-based drills. ASR Solutions also works with other houses of worship such as mosques and synagogues. Training is led by Army Special Forces veterans and law enforcement professionals who understand the unique environment and mission of faith communities.
Active Shooter Response Solutions was founded by Kyle Sproles, a 13-year Army Special Forces (Green Beret) veteran and Messiah University alumnus.

The ASR Solutions team includes law enforcement veterans, SWAT officers, emergency management professionals, and individuals who have survived active shooter incidents in the United States, including the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. Kyle has curated the single best team of experienced individuals possible in order to provide you with the best training available in the United States.
