Why Preparedness Matters
Violent incidents can develop rapidly and with little warning. Effective preparedness requires more than memorizing one response technique.
People must be able to recognize changing circumstances, identify available options and make informed decisions under pressure.
CRI’s Active Shooter, Workplace Violence & Terrorism Preparedness Program provides structured instruction in situational awareness, prevention, emergency planning, evacuation, sheltering, personal protection and responsible last-resort response.
The objective is not to create fear. It is to provide useful knowledge that can support better decisions before, during and after a critical incident.
What You'll Learn
Upon completing the program, participants should have a better understanding of how to:
- Recognize behaviors and conditions that may indicate an emerging safety concern
- Apply situational-awareness principles in workplaces, schools and public locations
- Evaluate evacuation, sheltering, barricading and other emergency-response options
- Make more informed decisions during rapidly changing incidents
- Understand active-shooter and armed-threat response considerations
- Apply preparedness concepts in offices, classrooms, vehicles, restaurants and public venues
- Recognize the importance of distance, barriers, cover and escape
- Understand basic emergency first-aid considerations
- Identify how environmental features may assist with protection
- Communicate with and follow instructions from law-enforcement and emergency personnel
Course Curriculum
Active Shooter Preparedness in Public Places
Examine situational awareness, evacuation considerations, available cover and concealment, emergency decision-making, and response options in public environments.
Classroom Preparedness for Students
Explore age-appropriate concepts related to awareness, emergency communication, evacuation, sheltering, and responding to dangerous situations in an educational environment.
Classroom Preparedness for Teachers and School Personnel
Examine responsibilities associated with protecting students, securing classrooms, communicating during emergencies, and making time-critical decisions.
Active Threat Response in Buildings
Understand how building layout, exits, doors, corridors, rooms, and other environmental factors can influence emergency response decisions.
Workplace Violence Preparedness
Recognize potential warning indicators and examine prevention, preparedness, communication, emergency planning, and response considerations for workplace violence incidents.
Office and Workplace Armed-Threat Scenarios
Explore decision-making considerations involving armed threats, robbery, and violent incidents occurring in office environments.
Vehicle-Based Threat Awareness
Examine situational awareness and emergency response considerations involving vehicles and vehicle-related attacks.
Public Venue Safety
Apply preparedness principles to restaurants, entertainment locations, commercial facilities, and other public gathering places.
Knife and Firearm Threat-Response Concepts
Examine avoidance, distance, barriers, escape, and last-resort defensive considerations involving edged weapons and firearms.
Improvised Protective Measures
Understand how environmental features and readily available objects may be used to improve protection during an emergency when safer options are unavailable.
Emergency First Aid
Review immediate-care concepts applicable to injuries sustained during violent or mass-casualty incidents.
An Options-Based Approach to Emergency Preparedness
No two violent incidents develop in exactly the same way.
A person’s location, distance from the threat, available exits, physical barriers, surrounding people, injuries, communications and law-enforcement response can all affect the decisions that must be made.
For that reason, this course emphasizes awareness and options rather than reliance on one predetermined response. Prevention, de-escalation, evacuation, lockdown and sheltering are prioritized. Physical defensive action is discussed only as an absolute last resort when safer options are unavailable.
