Active Shooter Prevention Training

“One of the country’s foremost authorities on active shooters.”

The U.S. Army, describing Chris Grollnek in its published account of the Blue Grass Army Depot demonstration, army.mil, 8 October 2024.

Prevention-first training and consulting led by the creator of the P.R.O. Model™. Selected by the U.S. Department of Justice as “A” national standard  twice. In use at some installations and commands across the Department of Defense. Documented prevention outcomes across multiple organizational environments. The destination is #NEVERHERE™.

Threat Assessment & Prevention

Identifying behavioral warning signs and building the prevention infrastructure; behavioral threat assessment, anonymous reporting culture, and the physical and technology layers that intercept threats before they become incidents.

Physical Security Assessments

Site-specific assessments that identify vulnerabilities, close gaps, and build the layered physical security and technology infrastructure your organization actually needs sized to your environment, your population, and your risk profile.

P.R.O. Model™ Consulting

The P.R.O. Model™, Prevention. Response. Options. selected by the U.S. Department of Justice as “A” national standard for the Assistant United States Attorneys and across the Department for active shooter prevention training for 2022–2025 and again for 2026–2030. Selected twice. Filmed by the Justice Television Network and made available to all 115,000 DOJ personnel on a biannual basis.

Government & Public Safety

Training, consulting, and policy development for federal, state, and local government agencies, law enforcement, and public safety organizations. ASPP™ co-authored the U.S. Department of Justice Emergency Operations Plan firearms carry policy for all 10,700 Assistant United States Attorneys and federal law enforcement officers publicly documented on the DOJ learning portal and YouTube.

Keynote Speaker

For more than 16 years I have been recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the national media as the Active Shooter Expert. That recognition came from doing the work testifying, training, advising, surviving, building. It is also why I built the P.R.O. Model™ because every organization in America deserves the same prevention standard the federal government trusts for its own people.

Schools, hospitals, corporate campuses, houses of worship, manufacturing facilities, and community organizations regardless of size, sector, or budget all face the same threat. They all deserve the same answer. The P.R.O. Model™ Prevention. Response. Options. is built on active shooter prevention as the foundation, response as the contingency, and options as the recognition that no two organizations are the same.

The P.R.O. Model™ was built to be accessible because the mission demands it. The DOJ selection validates the standard. The mission is making sure that standard reaches every organization ready to build genuine prevention infrastructure. That is why we give away half of what we do. The destination is #NEVERHERE™ and it is available to every organization willing to walk the road.

Active Shooter Violence Is Preventable. The Standard Exists. The Will To Build It Is The Only Thing Missing.

Active Shooter Violence Is Preventable. The Standard Exists. The Will To Build It Is The Only Thing Missing.

Schools. Hospitals. Houses of Worship. Corporate Campuses. Government Facilities. Manufacturing Sites. Community Organizations. Every environment is different. Every environment has people who deserve to go home safely at the end of the day. And every environment has a reason, whether it is a regulatory mandate, a duty of care, or simply a leader who decided to act to build a genuine prevention program before something happens.

The risks that are often overlooked.

The patterns that precede escalation.

The actions that protect people when it matters most.

Prevention Is Not a Luxury. It is the Standard.

Prevention is Not a Luxury. It Is the Standard.

The Prevention Infrastructure Already Exists. Does Your Organization Have It?

The Prevention Infrastructure Already Exists. Does Your Organization Have It?

Organizations without prevention programs are managing risk re-actively.

Leaders without a national standard are making it up as they go.

People deserve better than a drill that teaches them to hide.

The warning signs are almost always present before an incident occurs. When organizations have no behavioral threat assessment capability and no anonymous reporting culture, those signs go unnoticed. The P.R.O. Model™ builds the infrastructure that catches them before anything happens.

That gap in preparedness BECOMES the liability.

Preparation Changes The Outcome

Start With Clarity.

Act With Confidence.

The P.R.O. Model™ is “A” National Standard for active shooter prevention, and the only one the U.S. Department of Justice has selected twice. The first conversation is free.

This Isn't About Fear, It's About Responsibility.

This Isn't About Fear, It's About Responsibility.

BE PREPARED TO PREVENT

Because leadership is defined by building the prevention infrastructure before anything happens, not managing the aftermath when it does.

The Conversation That Protects Your People Starts Here

The Conversation That Protects Your People Starts Here

Active shooter prevention is not a comfortable topic.
It is a necessary one, and organizations that have it right are already building the infrastructure before anything happens.

But the risk doesn’t go away just because the conversation does.

Organizations that build behavioral threat assessment capability, anonymous reporting culture, and a genuine prevention program are not managing fear. They are eliminating the conditions that allow threats to escalate. That is what the P.R.O. Model™ does.

Prevention. Response. Options. The P.R.O. Model™ Framework (Built for Every Organization.

Prevention. Response. Options. The P.R.O. Model™ Framework) Built for Every Organization.

Assess

You can’t prepare for what you haven’t identified. We evaluate vulnerabilities, environments, and potential threats so organizations understand exactly where they stand.

Build

Preparedness isn’t theoretical.
We develop clear, practical strategies tailored to your organization by
defining roles, responses, and decision-making under pressure.

Train

Plans only work when people understand them before they need them. Through practical prevention training and real-world exercises, organizations build the confidence and infrastructure that makes the difference.
