Active Shooter Boston

Solutions To Active Shooter, Spree & Rampage Killing Incidents In Boston Most rampage and spree killing incidents whether at educational institutions, work or public places usually end within 5 minutes – several minutes before law enforcement or security arrive on the scene. This means that those caught up in the incident must act as first responders to ensure their own (and everyone else’s) survival. Knowing what to do and how to respond decisively to such incidents is essential; whether that involves evacuating the environment, barricading it to prevent access, or tackling and countering the assailant etc. Our training provides both the knowledge and the skills to implement effective tactics and strategies to help unarmed individuals improve their survival chances should they find themselves having to deal with an active killer – whether armed with a knife and/or a long/short barreled weapon. Are programs have been featured in the Boston Herald, you can read the article by clicking here.

Rampage and spree killings can happen anywhere from churches/religious institutions, schools and colleges, to workplaces and public spaces, such as restaurants and shopping malls. Such incidents that target groups, rather than individuals, are hard to predict and prevent, and so having plans, procedures and strategies in place to deal with such situations are essential – the faster you can “catch up” to what is happening the greater your chances of survival.

Our training comes from Israel and the US, and combines the most effective and proven strategies for dealing with active killers. Rather than just inform you of a strategy, such as evacuating a building an active shooter is in, we train you how to do this effectively e.g. the differences between primary and secondary exits, how to safely check your environment etc. We teach you how to make effective decisions when under stress and duress, along with how to manage fear and adrenaline. After taking one of our seminars, training programs or courses you will be better equipped to deal with such incidents and have clear plans and strategies that you will be able to enact both for yourself and on behalf of others.

Surviving An Active Shooter Incident

Gershon Ben Keren’s third book Krav Maga Extreme Survival examines the Israeli experiences of active shooter incidents, and the solutions they developed for dealing with this form of terrorism. They became so successful at dealing with these types of incidents that Hamas changed their tactics from active shootings to suicide bombings. The methods, tactics and techniques that were shown to be effective our demonstrated in the book. This is perhaps the first-time outside of Israel that these techniques and methods have been demonstrated in this form.

Taking an academic approach, Gershon, invvestiagated over 140 active shooter/killer incidents to discover the common components they all shared, along with the way in which they differed e.g., how does a workplace shooting typically differ from a shooting in an educational institution, such as a school or university. Things, that were discovered included the fact that in school shootings, the shooter tended to carry more firearms than in workplace shootings, and those that occur in public places - part of this was due to the fact that employees tended to enter the building before making their intentions known, and therefore may be conspicuos if they were carrying a large array of weapons (the same being true of shootings in public spaces). Other differences included the types of weapon used etc. There were also three common characteristics, that were true, across almost all shootings, and these influenced the methods and tactics contained in the book.

The photos in the book were shot in the location where such active shooter, and active killer incidents take place e.g., a Massachuestts High School was used for the section on school shootings, with members of the drama club, playing the parts of those targeted. Afterwards, the local police department shot an active shooter training video with them, using the tactics they had learnt. The straigh forwardness and simplicity of the Israeli approach to such incidents, meant that what they had learnt for the photos in the book, could be easily remembered and applied.
