Active Killer Response

Active Killer/Shooter Response Program

Our active killer response training program has been around for over 20 years and we continue to improve on curiculum and best practices. Here at Apex Shooting and Tactics LLC, we understand the complex differences between schools, faith-based organizations, businesses and factories. Each of our clients and their buildings bring unique security concerns to the table and we have the knowledge and experience to adapt our program around your needs.

Our program offers a three phase training program. An organization does not need to experience all three phases, instead the organization can choose one, two or all three phases depending on your organizations needs. This program prepares your group to respond to an active killer and is tailored to your organization’s building and current security posture.

Phase 1 is the foundation of the program. Phase 1 develops mindset and provides skills that will empower your organization with the knowledge and realistic options that can save lives during an active killer incident. Phase 1 is not a firearm or combatives class. Phase 1 is designed for every employee or member of your organization. Phase 1 is typically a 3 hour training session that consists of: Security assessment of your campus, building and day-to-day business and activities. – Recommendations for basic security concerns. – Active killer response specifically tailored to the client based on the security assessment. – Instruction provided for the employees or members of your organization. Instruction consists of classroom lecture, hands on training and several training scenarios.

Phase 2 is designed for organizations that allow specific employees or members to carry concealed weapons on the organizations property. Phase 2 provides training for those who are carrying firearms on the organizations property. Phase 2 is a minimum of 3 days and will consist of the following:
– Minimum of 2 days firearms training. The firearms training will focus on safe and proficient weapon handling skills and ensure that the students obtain an acceptable level of marksmanship to defend themselves and others from an active killer.
– Lecture concerning use of force. 
– 8 hour minimum of tactical training and scenario based training in the organizations building.

Phase 3 is designed to instill confidence and build trust between those in your group who are armed and those who are not. This phase provides a brief refresher for the entire organization. During the refresher it allows the organization’s members to bring up concerns and to discuss the abilities and limitations of the armed members. Phase 3 ends in scenario based training that involves armed and unarmed members of the organization. All scenario based training is conducted with non functioning firearms and safety will not be compromised.
