Sadly, active shooter/violent intruder incidents are a common occurrence in our modern society. These incidents take place in our offices, our schools, our places of worship, and our communities. While it is unlikely that you will ever be in one of these incidents, it is important to prepare and know what you will do should the unthinkable happen. Having the right mindset is critical to increasing your chances of survival and building awareness and preparation in your community. 

In this course, Kerry Harris, a co-founder of National Violent Intruder Preparedness Solutions and retired law enforcement veteran with over 30 years of experience, will teach methods and practices for preventing and responding to violent intruder incidents. 

In this course, you will learn: 

• Who perpetrates active shooter/violent intruder incidents and how to identify if someone is a potential threat. 

• How police respond to these incidents so that you are prepared to give first responders the most accurate and timely information.

• Strategies you can use to survive in the event of a violent intruder incident, such as prevention, announcing and updating, evading and escaping, locking down, defusing and de-escalating, distracting and disrupting, and resisting.

• Tactical tips for how you can use materials at hand to shelter and protect yourself.

You need not have a law enforcement background to take the right action in an active shooter/violent intruder incident and save yourself and others. Ordinary people have taken extraordinary actions and made a difference to save lives in violent intruder incidents. Use this course to build awareness and prepare so you can make a difference.
