About the course

Are you prepared to handle a hostile or armed intruder situation? Hostile or armed intruder incidents can happen without warning, making preparedness essential for every workplace. This hostile armed intruder response training is designed to prepare employees to respond effectively in the event of a hostile armed intruder incident.

The training covers critical topics such as identifying potential threats, communicating during a crisis, and implementing safe evacuation and lockdown procedures. Our lead facilitator, a qualified civilian response to active shooter events instructor and counterterrorism specialist, combines theoretical knowledge and realistic scenarios with an options-based approach to help participants develop practical strategies for dealing with an armed intruder or a hostile individual. 

Who can benefit from this training?

This hostile armed intruder response training is suitable for businesses and organisations of all sizes, including corporate offices, schools, healthcare facilities, local government and retail environments. It is particularly valuable for frontline workers, safety officers, security staff, and any personnel involved in job roles that may need to respond to hostile or armed intruder situations.

Why is training important?

With workplace violence and security threats on the rise, being unprepared is not an option.  Empower your employees to respond to hostile armed intruder situations with confidence. Don’t wait for a crisis. Be prepared.
