Do You Know What Your Team Would Do in an Active Shooter or Violence Attack?

If an active shooter or violent incident occurred in your workplace, non-profit, or place of worship, would your employees, volunteers, or members know how to respond? Active violence situations can unfold in seconds, leaving those unprepared vulnerable to injury or even worse outcomes. For small businesses, community organizations, and faith-based groups—often without extensive security infrastructure—the effects of such incidents can be devastating, both for the individuals involved and for the organization as a whole.

The consequences of being unprepared for an active shooter or violent incident are severe and far-reaching. In untrained settings, people may panic or freeze, creating more chaos and confusion that can delay crucial split-second decisions. Without a clear understanding of how to react, individuals may inadvertently put themselves in harm’s way or struggle to communicate effectively, leading to unnecessary casualties and injuries before law enforcement even arrives. Lacking situational awareness or emergency response skills can also impede coordinated efforts to help others, whether it’s safely evacuating or performing basic first aid. These delays not only increase the risk of harm but can also have lasting emotional and psychological impacts on survivors who feel unprepared or helpless during the event.

White Knight Solutions Group understands that preparedness can be the difference between safety and chaos. That’s why we offer Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVERT), specifically designed to equip your team with the skills to respond confidently in high-stress situations. AVERT goes beyond teaching basic responses, providing tools to enhance situational awareness, bleeding control techniques, and the ability to act calmly and effectively under pressure.

Through AVERT’s "Escape, Evade, Attack" framework, participants learn a structured, memorable approach to crisis response, tailored to each organization’s unique setting. This empowers employees or members to make quick decisions, use available resources, and protect themselves and others. Prior to training, White Knight Solutions Group offers consultation sessions to help leaders identify specific vulnerabilities within their locations, from entry points to high-traffic areas. This proactive assessment, separate from the training, ensures that your space is as secure as possible.

AVERT training also strengthens communication and teamwork skills—essential for staying safe in high-stakes situations. Through realistic role-playing exercises, employees practice coordinating their responses, alerting others, and contacting emergency responders. This hands-on practice builds a culture of mutual accountability and heightened situational awareness, and as we say at White Knight Solutions Group, “Exposure leads to composure."

In addition, White Knight Solutions Group can provide post-event guidance, from facility assessments to connecting staff with counseling resources, supporting both the physical and emotional recovery process. Investing in AVERT training creates a ripple effect, boosting morale, instilling confidence, and fostering a safer, more resilient community within your organization.

With White Knight Solutions Group, you can “Be Prepared to Save the Day.” Our training empowers your team not only to protect themselves but to care for one another, cultivating an environment where everyone can thrive—no matter what challenges come their way.
