Active shooter response
(for armed officers)


This 8-hour, advanced course is built upon the foundations of the advanced pistol and rifle courses. Therefore, one of those courses is required prior to attending this course. This active shooter response course includes topics such as small unit tactics, team communication, structure clearing, exterior & interior team movement, room entry and room clearing techniques. Due to the nature of this training, all firearms will be provided by the Blue Lion training team.

There
WILL NOT be any live weapons or ammunition during this training. All training will be conducted with the use of inert training guns, simunition weapons (paint guns), or air-soft weapons. We have learned over decades of training FBI agents and police officers in this environment, the learning curve increase dramatically with this type of training. Utilizing this force-on-force, scenario-based training pushes students to quickly employ critical thinking skills, while simultaneously deploying a weapon, to make quick, accurate shots. This simulates some of the stress of an actual confrontation with an attacker. This also allows us to teach students how that stress temporarily degrades the human bodies (physiologically) ability to react, ie... tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, reduced fine motor skills, etc., and the techniques you can use to overcome it.

Students are required to provide the following materials: eye protection, ear protection, a strong side holster, a pistol magazine pouch, and a positive attitude. These classes are conducted at an outdoor range, year-round, so dress accordingly.

The role-playing attacker will wear a full Red Man (protective) Suit, which will allow for the most realistic training possible.

This 3-hour class is designed for unarmed civilians who have had no prior threat or active shooter training. It has also been used very successfully for corporate staff training and/or team building exercises.
This training program is taught at your facility, to maximize your staffs understanding and ability to build skills that have been proven to help people survive dangerous, or life-threating situations. Course content includes a 2-hour classroom presentation on topics like active shooter, the mind and body's reaction to a high-stress events and how to better prepare to survive those events. Our recently retired FBI Agents will then walk room to room with your staff to talk through these life threatening situations, and how to survive them. This course is instructed by Blue Lion Tactical Founder & CEO Scott Johnson. Prior to his retirement as an FBI Special Agent, Scott taught numerous active shooter response courses for the FBI and ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) and has successfully trained hundreds of federal agents and police officers on active shooter response.
