Course Description

Prepare Officers for Active Shooter Incidents

​

Active Shooter Simulated Engagements Training (ASSET)

ASSET prepares certified law enforcement officers for high-pressure active shooter and critical use-of-force events. The course blends legal foundations, proven decision-making frameworks, and realistic simulated engagements—so officers can act decisively, lawfully, and effectively under stress.

​

What Officers Will Learn

  • Make sound decisions and maintain critical thinking under stress

  • Apply use-of-force legal standards (including Tennessee v. Garner and Graham v. Connor)

  • Identify de-escalation opportunities and recognize when escalation is necessary

  • Strengthen marksmanship and tactical response through simulation-based reps

  • Operate consistently across department SOPs and active shooter response expectations

Legal & Procedural Foundations

  • Key case law and governing principles

  • Agency SOP integration (as provided)

Decision-Making & Scenario Application

  • Structured models (e.g., OODA Loop)

  • De-escalation vs. escalation decision points and articulation

Active Shooter Response Phases (not included in the condensed 4.5-hour version)

Simulated Engagements + After-Action Debriefs

  • On-demand scenario reps for threat recognition and response options

  • Structured coaching and performance debriefs

  • Skill reinforcement for accuracy, timing, and decision quality

Outcomes
