Active Shooter Prevention PRO Model Explained

In emergency preparedness, looking beyond one’s beliefs can be challenging. Every organization suffers from paralysis through analysis; the Active Shooter Prevention Project, LLC, is different in certain areas. We adjusted most of these issues by having a diverse group of individuals with over 750 collective years of experience in our leadership council alone. Even with this addition and adjustment, we continue to see challenges within our own silos of understanding. Having this open and transparent conversation helps us daily to refocus our message. “This has never been about me; this has always been about the we.” And with our listening base and outreach power, it’s essential to remain humble, but we never forget to be transparent, vulnerable, and authentic. At least, that’s our goal.

We do not proclaim to have every answer, but we know we have solutions that have not even been tapped into yet. Setting all hyperbole aside, we could prevent nearly every one of these mass shooting tragedies. To demonstrate this thought, look at the after-action reports of any incident, and they will show you the shortcomings and gaps. So, by taking the incidents of the last 26 years that have traditionally focused on response and response alone, the tragedies and victim numbers stack up.

When this happens, we’re left to say how well the response went, even at the loss of lives, and how brave the people who responded and or helped.  Allowing this mentality accepts families devastation, the injuries that will never go away, and the emotional scars that these people live with forever. It’s just time to rethink this whole process.

At no point does this post suggest that we go away from response! On the contrary, this post suggests we need to train better for a response through a prevention mindset. Because prevention will fail we will have these types of incidents, but we can significantly change the volume with just a certain few proven adjustments. We stray away from one or two good ideas at a time and think of a holistic solution incorporating at least three or four to make locations as active shooter-proof as they are fireproof. Together, we can do this.

Of course, some of the problems lie in that, which begins with something we’ve read long ago: “Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” ~ Benjamin Franklin.

The point of this message is to proclaim that we can do better as a whole. The shortcomings and gaps have been identified after the past 26 years of research of the selected time frame. We’ve seen the strengths and the weaknesses. To be successful at significantly reducing these, we need to leverage both.

We’re looking forward to our Destination #NEVERHERE and the national standard for prevention utilizing the P.R.O.  Model (Prevention. Response. Options.) this will only happen if we all come together as one community with a common goal of stopping shooting shootings instead of promoting individual businesses.

Well, it’s possible to do both. It’s difficult for the outside public to hear and listen to many criticizing their “competitor solutions” as if their solutions are the only thing that works. From 26 years of past failures, we know the only thing that truly works is working together.
