Program Overview
Active shooter incidents, workplace violence, terrorism, and other acts of targeted violence can develop rapidly and with little warning. Effective preparedness requires more than awareness of a single response technique. Individuals must understand how to evaluate changing circumstances, identify available options, and make informed decisions under pressure.
CRI's Active Shooter, Workplace Violence & Terrorism Preparedness Program provides structured online instruction designed to strengthen personal readiness, situational awareness, emergency response knowledge, and critical decision-making.
The program examines a range of environments and threat situations, including workplaces, schools, public facilities, vehicles, offices, restaurants, and other public locations.
The emphasis throughout the course is on prevention, awareness, preparedness, evacuation when possible, protection, responsible last-resort response, and post-incident considerations.
Federal agencies continue to teach Run, Hide, Fight as an options-based civilian response framework while also emphasizing emergency planning, situational awareness, workplace-violence recognition and preparedness. CRI’s program builds upon recognized preparedness principles by applying them to workplaces, schools, vehicles, public venues and other real-world environments.

An Options-Based Approach to Emergency Preparedness
No two violent incidents develop in exactly the same way.
Location, proximity to 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 options and decision-making rather than reliance on a single predetermined response.
The FBI identifies Run, Hide, Fight as the national standard for civilian active-shooter response and describes fighting as a last-resort option. CISA likewise emphasizes preparedness, emergency action planning, recognizing potential warning indicators, and appropriate actions during an incident.
CRI's training expands the educational discussion by examining how preparedness concepts may apply across multiple real-world environments and circumstances.
