Active Threat Training gives your team practical, easy-to-understand response strategies designed to improve decision-making under pressure, reduce hesitation, and help employees take immediate action to protect themselves and others. This training focuses on realistic workplace response, communication, movement, and decision-making so your organization is better prepared before an emergency ever occurs. - Make effective decisions during a rapidly changing active threat - Understand how stress can affect perception and response - Use communication and emergency notification effectively [Request Active Threat Training](https://www.trainwithbasecamp.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) ![Active Threat Course Image](https://www.trainwithbasecamp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Active%20Threat%20Course%20Image.png?width=1000&height=667&name=Active%20Threat%20Course%20Image.png "Active Threat Course Image") - Apply escape, evacuation, lockdown, and barricade options - Understand personal defense as a last-resort response - Know what to do when law enforcement arrives ## When an Active Threat Begins, Decisions Matter Active threat incidents develop quickly and rarely follow a predictable sequence. Employees may have only moments to assess what is happening, determine what options are available, and take protective action. Active Threat Training prepares participants to make those decisions under pressure. The course addresses the effects of stress on perception and decision-making and teaches practical response options including communication, escape and evacuation, lockdown and barricade, and personal defense when no safer option remains. ## Training Helps Reduce Hesitation Under Stress A clear response framework can improve decision-making when time and information are limited. During an active threat, stress can narrow attention, distort perception, and slow decision-making. People may freeze, hesitate, or struggle to process what is happening—even when they know they need to act. Active Threat Training gives participants a practical response framework they can recall under pressure. By understanding how stress affects behavior and rehearsing clear response options, employees are better prepared to act decisively when time and information are limited. ![What to Expect](https://www.trainwithbasecamp.com/hubfs/What%20to%20Expect.png "What to Expect") ## Practical Response Options Active threats change quickly. Your response has to change with them. Active threat incidents can evolve in seconds. The safest response depends on what is happening, where the threat is, and what options remain available. This training gives employees a practical framework for understanding the situation, managing stress, choosing an appropriate response, and adapting as conditions change. ### Incident Dynamics Understand how active threat incidents evolve quickly and how the body’s stress response can affect perception, attention, and decision-making under pressure. ### Escape & Evacuate Learn when moving away from danger is the safest option and how to adjust as conditions change. ### Lockdown & Barricade Understand how to lock down, barricade entry points, and create as much separation from the threat as possible. ### Communicate Communicate clearly with 911 and, when circumstances allow, share accurate threat information with coworkers so they can respond to what is actually happening. Help others make safer decisions by passing along timely, accurate information about the threat’s location or movement when it is safe to do so. ### Personal Defense Understand last-resort protective actions when no safer option remains. ### Law-Enforcement Arrival Learn what to expect when officers enter the scene and how to avoid actions that could create confusion during the response. ![Who is this training for-1](https://www.trainwithbasecamp.com/hubfs/Who%20is%20this%20training%20for-1.png "Who is this training for-1") ## Course at a Glance - **In-person classroom training:** 4 hours - **Minimum booking:** 13 paid participants - **Class size:** Up to 40 participants per instructor - **Training format:** Practical instruction, guided discussion, and scenario-based learning ### Pricing $139 per person - **Group pricing:** Volume pricing available for larger groups. - **Travel:** Travel expenses and travel-day fees may apply based on location and scheduling. ## Ready to Discuss Training for Your Organization?  Tell us about your organization, your training goals, and the number of employees you are looking to train.
