Active Threat Training and Preparation

In an unpredictable world, where the active threat is unfortunately present, training and preparedness are key to the survival of you and/or your organization. The active threat today might be a vehicle ramming, an active stabber, or the active shooter. provided trainings focus on (1) understanding the active threat, (2) threat mitigation strategies that work to prevent such an incident, and (3) a set of tools and options should the active threat be presented.

Including, but not limited to:

  • Understanding the Active Threat

  • Threat Mitigation Strategies for Prevention

  • Creating a Response Plan


Threat Assessment

Threat assessment is a key element to preventing acts of violence. Within threat assessment, an actor’s behaviors (as well as actual and/or perceived threats) are evaluated to determine their credibility and level of risk.

Some examples include:

  • Formation of a Threat Assessment Team

  • Team Training

  • Evaluation/Assessment Tool Review


Physical Security Evaluations

Today's physical security world has drastically changed given the onset of new technology and a changing threat landscape. Having an independent third party audit your physical security program is critical to providing a high-quality output of that program. This audit is an opportunity to review your current threat picture, critiquing historical data, looking to future threats, and implementing mitigation strategies. This audit is also an opportunity to look for areas of improvement and provide strategic guidance for the direction of your department. Each Physical Security Audit will be tailored to your organizational needs, or the needs of you as an individual, to ensure the audit meets your needs.


Physical Security Technology Guidance

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and administration of physical security systems. Device lifecycle management, selection, deployment, and ongoing evaluation of new technology, are all critical aspects of establishing a robust physical security program. In collaboration with you and your team, A.M. & Associates will help you navigate these challenges. Together, we will customize a roadmap that is best suited for your environment.
