Mothers, fathers, business owners and neighbors”, says Michael.

“With every tragedy that takes place such as the recent Las Vegas shooting, we should be increasingly aware of our surroundings and learning from each incident. I am approached after each devastating event and asked what could have been done during this scenario to help increase the odds of survival, my active shooter survival training will teach you just that.

How to increase your odds of survival until the police arrive.  The audience will walk away with a knowledge on reflexes and confidence they can use to protect themselves through a combination of drills and their specific departments and classroom learning.
