Active Shooter Response Training For Places Of Worship
The first recorded active shooting at a church was on June 2nd, 1980, at the First Baptist Church in Dangerfield, Texas. The shooter killed five people and wounded another ten during that Sunday morning service. He did this because he was upset that the members of the church would not appear as character witnesses for him during his rape trial. While houses of worship are usually free of violence, there have been many other acts of violence on faith-based properties since this summer day.
An active shooter response plan for churches or other houses of worship is just as important as having a plan for a tornado or fire. Our online active shooter response course was developed for pastors, priests, staff, volunteers, and safety team members. We designed it so that all of the above have access to the same material, bringing everyone together cohesively. Safety teams or those in an administrative position also get access to additional locked lessons that will help with prevention or a more prepared response.

6 reviews for Active Shooter Response Training For Churches
Carrie Casatta was the best presenter!!! She made the program!
Overall, this training made me think of ways that I can hide, direct and protect my students. I teach young children, so hiding and barricading, and providing my students with the instruction to run as soon as they can while I do my best to fight back with whatever weapons are at my disposal if a shooter enters my room seem to be my best options. The videos and supplemental information were very helpful and given in short enough segments that I was able to retain the information and succeed on the quizzes. I will go back and review this information from time to time and I will discuss the information with my coworkers in order to be as prepared as possible. I would suggest that the first aid information and fight back information could be broken up into shorter videos. There was a lot of information presented at once with them. The first aid information was good, but somewhat impractical as most classrooms are not equipped with tourniquets, chest seals, and mylar blankets. Overall, it did make me think about what I have handy and how it could be used in an improvisational manner. I will deliberately store some things that could be used in case of emergency.
I didn’t think I would be able to do the certification class. I would listen to the video twice but I didn’t mind because it was very interesting. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Awesome information and training!!
Useful and informative video series! Barrett Kendrick was able to utilize highly technical data to explain a scary and confusing situation in common sense terms, providing the viewer with clear, reasonable options for success. Empowering!
