Active shooter response training is one of the most important investments a school district can make. Today, the North Little Rock School District demonstrated just how seriously they take the safety of their students and staff through their Commissioned School Security Officer (CSSO) program.

Last year, we focused on team movement and coordinated response. Within a month of that training, those skills were put to the test when a shooting occurred at a football game. Their training helped prepare them to respond under pressure.

This year, our focus shifted to the individual officer response because time matters. Officers may have to act alone before additional help arrives. Today's hands-on training placed them in realistic, high-stress scenarios involving live gunfire, multiple suspects, mass chaos, and critical shoot/don't shoot decision-making. The goal was to provide the tools, understanding, and confidence needed to respond effectively when every second counts.

The North Little Rock School District should be proud of these dedicated professionals. Their commitment to continuous training and preparedness reflects their unwavering dedication to protecting the students, staff, and community they serve.

Active shooter and active threat response is one of the most critical components of the Arkansas Commissioned School Security Officer (CSSO) program. Every day, Commissioned School Security Officers and security teams stand ready to protect students and staff across Arkansas schools.

Today, we had the privilege of training 20 dedicated school security professionals in Central Arkansas as part of their annual training requirements. This was not PowerPoint-based instruction—it was hands-on, reality-based training designed to build the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to respond effectively during an active threat.

Today's individual officer response training emphasized the importance of speed, decisiveness, and moving toward the threat to engage and stop it based on the circumstances presented. These critical skills can make all the difference when lives are at stake.

With more than 50 years of combined law enforcement experience, Robert Maack and Les Munn are proud to share the knowledge and practical techniques they've gained throughout their careers. It is an honor to provide this level of training to the dedicated security teams protecting Arkansas schools.

Preparing today helps protect tomorrow. We are proud to support the men and women committed to keeping our schools safe.

We wake up today to yet another act of violence, whether it’s in Boston or Nash. These situations hit close to home and remind us that active violence incidents are very real. We can’t watch the news and assume, “That would never happen here,” or believe it only happens somewhere else.
If you are an individual — train.
If you are a business, school, church, or organization — prepare, plan, and train. Have an actual response plan in place before an emergency ever happens.
Do not wait until chaos unfolds to figure out what you’re going to do in that moment.
Protect yourself. Protect your family, friends, co-workers, and those around you. Preparation and training save lives.
Get trained.

In today’s volatile world, we cannot rely on short-staffed law enforcement agencies to be everywhere at once. When seconds matter, response time is everything.

The reality is this:

The average law enforcement response to an active shooter is 3–5 minutes

The median response time is just 3 minutes, based on FBI data

Yet many incidents are over within 5–10 minutes

Nearly 70% of active shooter events end in 5 minutes or less

The first 10 minutes are the most critical and deadly

Even placing a 911 call and dispatching officers can take 4–11 minutes, before help is even en route

What does that mean?
It means the people already on-site—staff, security, and bystanders—are often the first and only line of defense.

Training is not optional. It is essential.

Prepared teams respond faster, act with confidence, and have the skills to make critical decisions under pressure. Whether your team is brand new or highly experienced, ongoing, realistic training can make the difference when it matters most.

Don’t wait for a crisis to expose gaps. Prepare now.

Reach out today and let experienced professionals help your team build the confidence, capability, and readiness needed to respond effectively in worst-case scenarios.
