AEGIS provides instruction in workplace violence, active shooter, pre-incident indicators and target hardening in addition to providing California state security certifications. Our training exceeds the industry standard by addressing real world issues in response to current events and trends. This responsiveness is how we differentiate ourselves in what we call, “The AEGIS Difference.” We design and implement programs based on our client’s hierarchy of needs.

In looking to develop a workplace violence cross-functional risk management team, the Security Executive Council recommends developing it from multiple angles. Think about how your HR, local law enforcement, current policy-makers and trainings inform the issue of workplace violence. Add training to these elements to enhance your team’s understanding of the security risks and methods of prevention.

When working with experts like those of AEGIS, consider the topics you want to include in table-top exercises during the training as well as in your own meetings. We will provide a list of those applicable to your needs and work to develop a training that suits your specific circumstances.

Here is a sampling of our corporate security solutions:

How to Survive an Active Shooter Lecture

Participants will learn proven techniques on how to survive an active shooter taught by a security expert and professional instructor.

By the end of the lecture, participants will have a thorough understanding of how active shooter incidents evolve by interpreting their individual threat profiles. Additional topics include: how to escape during an incident, how to barricade and lock down, how to report to law enforcement, and how to fight back using improvised weapons, if absolutely necessary.
