Bring our team to your campus for customized assessment and training opportunities to meet the unique needs of your campus and your team.
Three program options include:
Onsite security evaluation and assessment.

- Recommendations for further procedures to increase security signature
Staff training for key safety and security measures
This can be from ½ to a full day of training for the entire staff which will include:
- Emergency simulations
- Active shooter protocols and response
- Bomb threat response
- Evacuations for both active shooter and fire
- Shelter-In Place Operations
- Stand To, Modified and Full Lockdowns
Security and Safety Team Training
This option provides your security team with intensive training so they can continue to review and assess potential threats and create your own responses to emerging situations. Specifically your team will learn:
- SASQ Method of Threat Assessment and Evaluation
- Development of Harbor Points
- Establishing communication protocols for emergencies
- Establishing Relationships with local first responders
- Prepare protocols and SOPs for emergency operations and Recovery operations after an event
We will work with you to customize the program according to your specific needs. As we know, each school will have its own set of limitations, potential threats and ability to react to them. With this three-pronged approach we help schools intelligently and systematically identify what are potential threats and develop onsite protocols and habits to help eliminate or mitigate them.
Bring Eric to your location in a cost-effective way. We will make it easy to coordinate your on-site training with the dates of your choice. We guarantee your full satisfaction from the time you contact us to the day of your training.
