Recognize. Respond. Survive.

We want to empower you.

ProActive Response Group was founded by professionals with extensive experience in the fields of law enforcement and emergency medical services. We have first-hand experience with active shooter events, hostage negotiation and hostage rescue, and high-risk dignitary protection.

We’ve been the first ones on the scene in an emergency and the last to leave when the scene has been secured. Throughout our combined three decades of experience, we’ve witnessed the consequences of a lack of knowledge and an inability to prepare effectively.

The loss of lives and the destruction of a business are unacceptable, and we believe that with the right knowledge and skill set, every individual can be empowered to survive and save lives.

Our goal is to provide innovative Active Shooter Response Training and Security Assessments. We believe that in the event of violence, a lack of knowledge and a surplus of fear will be the biggest obstacles to safety.

Our classes provide a sense of self-determination and empower our class attendees to become leaders within their facilities with the skills and confidence to save lives, assist first responders and law enforcement, and take action when necessary.
