Active Shooter Preparedness

Ensuring safety during an active shooter incident requires preparation, awareness, and professional guidance. Apex Security LLC provides civilian active shooter / threat response training, helping organizations protect their employees, patients, and assets, with booking of 24/7 armed security coverage.

Why Active Shooter Preparedness Matters

Active shooter incidents are unpredictable and can escalate within minutes. Statistics highlight the importance of preparedness:

  • 70% of active shooter incidents end in 5 minutes or less (FBI Study, 2000–2013)
  • Only 24% of school shooting cases had an armed guard present (PMC study, 1980–2019)
  • 62% of organizations have never conducted an active-shooter drill (Everbridge, 2018)

Preparedness and rapid response are consistently tied to better outcomes and reduced casualties.
