(ON DEMAND) React, Escape, Survive: Preparing Your Institution & Staff for an Active-Shooter Incident

AVAILABLE ONLY VIA RECORDED WEBINAR + FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

Active-shooter incidents have become more and more common.  They seem to occur monthly.  Your financial institution takes proactive measures to train staff for robberies, but very few businesses provide the training and tools for staff to survive an active-shooter situation.

When seconds count… what’s your plan?  One minute it’s business as usual, and the next a shooter is inflicting death and destruction at your financial institution.  He’s not a robber – but he may be mentally ill, seeking revenge for a perceived wrong, targeting an employee in a relationship gone bad, or a terrorist lashing out against the financial establishment.  IT DOESN’T MATTER!  When you hear gun shots and lives are at stake – what are you going to do?

Preparation is the key.  Studies have shown that when a disaster strikes, survivors are the ones who prepared in advance and learned what to do before, during, and after a critical incident.  This program will teach you how to prevent and proactively identify dangerous situations.  It will provide a step-by-step action plan for security officers and management and provide all employees the training needed to react, escape, and survive an active-shooter incident.

This must-attend, special presentation will be taught by a former Secret Service Special Agent and contains video simulations that include powerful, realistic demonstrations.
