Active Shooter Training & Complete Campus Safety for Universities and Colleges
Colleges and universities face a challenging question: “How do we maintain an open and welcoming environment while keeping our campus safe?”. A reality exists: residential populations, open campuses, and oftentimes a lack of armed public safety or law enforcement leaves a campus exposed. Active Shooter Response Solutions serves as the single accountable partner across every dimension of your campus safety posture — from faculty training to vulnerability assessments, from emergency action planning to rehearsal and ongoing strategic advisory.
Two Ways to Partner
Complete Campus Safety Partnership
A single accountable partner across the full arc of campus safety. Staff and public safety training, vulnerability assessment, planning, rehearsals, and strategic advisory delivered under one integrated relationship. Your campus benefits from continuity, a roadmap to grant funding strategy, and the depth that comes from knowing your campus over time.
Single Service Engagement for Campus Security
Many institutions begin with one focused need; a vulnerability assessment to secure grant funding, BECON™ Faculty & Staff Training before the start of a new semester, or an emergency action plan refresh. Active Shooter Response Solutions can then grow into your complete and continuous partner over time. Each service is available as a standalone engagement.
University Campus Safety Services
BECON™ Faculty & Staff Training
Most faculty and staff are not trained responders, and they’re focused on preparing their students for the real world. Our active shooter training for universities prepares them to act with confidence, not freeze, when a threat enters their building. Built on BECON™ — Barricade, Escape, Control, Oppose, Notify — (not sequential) this active threat response training gives campus staff a framework they can remember under stress and execute in seconds, going far beyond generic Run-Hide-Fight guidance.
Threat & Vulnerability Assessment (TVA)
A Threat and Vulnerability Assessment is a comprehensive security vulnerability assessment of your campus: physical infrastructure, access control, emergency plans, and personnel readiness. Conducted by a team of emergency management specialists, Special Forces veterans, and law enforcement professionals, your campus vulnerability assessment identifies the gaps that put students and staff at risk, and delivers a clear roadmap to fix them. Most institutions can't apply for federal and state safety grants without one, making a TVA both a security necessity and a funding strategy.
Campus Public Safety Training
Campus public safety training from Active Shooter Response Solutions prepares both unarmed public safety officers and sworn law enforcement teams for the full range of incidents they encounter, not just active shooter response. This scenario-based training covers de-escalation, overdose response, domestic violence and stalking situations, and armed active threat response, led by Special Forces veterans and law enforcement professionals. Your team leaves prepared for the real spectrum of calls they'll face, not just the worst-case scenario.
Emergency Action Plan “Playbook” Document
No single emergency action plan can cover every scenario a campus will face. A fire response and an active shooter response require completely different actions. Active Shooter Response Solutions builds a university emergency action plan "playbook" instead: a simple, tabbed document where any team member can flip directly to the page for the emergency unfolding (active threat, medical emergency, severe weather, and more) and run the pre-planned play exactly as written. No interpretation, no hesitation. Just a clear, rehearsed response, built to support Clery Act compliance and hold up under real conditions.
Tabletop Exercises & Active Threat Response Drills
An emergency action plan only proves its worth when it's tested. Active Shooter Response Solutions conducts active threat drills and emergency response tabletop exercises for universities and colleges, arriving personnel and resources to bring your "playbook" to life. Choose a focused tabletop exercise walking your team through decision points, or a large-scale rehearsal coordinated with local police, fire, and EMS to stress-test your entire response. Every exercise is completely custom to your campus and completely confidential.
