PREPARING FOR THE ACTIVE SHOOTER

PREPARING FOR THE ACTIVE SHOOTER

An active shooter situation is something few of us have prepared for… and it’s that lack of preparation that raises anxiety…and fear. Training increases our ability to take appropriate action. It gives us a greater sense of preparedness, which will help with anxiety and stress levels – especially during a shooter situation.

PREVAIL!™ is designed to help all employees (as well as public servants, private citizens and others) respond in violent situations involving a shooter threat.

The result of a partnership between Sollah Interactive and Strategos International, the goals and objectives of PREVAIL! provide workplace leadership, management, security and front line personnel with information and strategies on recognizing and responding to the dynamic challenges and issues of violent incidents within the workplace. PREVAIL! provides a proactive “3 OUT” intruder response model (GET OUT | LOCK OUT | TAKE OUT) that focuses on the life-saving principles and tactics one can use when faced with an active shooter event – providing greater knowledge and situational understanding. Informed, confident and trained people dramatically increase their chances of prevailing if they are ever to be in such a situation.

PREVAIL!™ INCLUDES SIX VIDEO PROGRAMS & COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT MATERIAL.

Here’s a breakdown:
PREVAIL! was designed in easy-to-use modules. Organizations using PREVAIL! have several implementation paths – including 1, 2 and 3 hour training options.

Typically, each training session starts with PREVAIL!™. This dramatic video sets the stage for the session by engaging participants quickly – emotionally – by watching an active shooter event unfold in their workplace.

Next, Preparing to PREVAIL!™ level sets the session by discussing key points in an active shooter event. PREVAIL!: The OUT Actions™ goes into detail about the 3-OUT Intruder Response Approach.

The session then discusses the psychology of the shooter in PREVAIL!: Understanding the Adversary™. There is also a manager program (Leading to PREVAIL!™) available to inform and encourage managers to discuss potential scenarios and options within their teams – as well as a powerful meeting opener (Prevailing Is…™) to kick off each session.

PREVAIL! can help your organization comply with OSHA’s General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) – requiring employers to provide their employees with a place of employment that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.” PREVAIL! will raise your personal awareness when it comes to potential workplace violence threats and/or an active shooter event. A trained response will save lives…yours and those around you!

The PREVAIL! package is available in several formats: DVD, USB, streaming video and interactive eLearning.
