Most Training Focuses on Response.

That’s Too Late

Active shooter events remain one of the most critical safety threats facing organizations today. According to the FBI, these incidents often unfold in minutes, frequently before law enforcement can arrive.

  • Incidents happen fast
  • Law enforcement arrives later
  • Your people are the first responders

Prevention is where lives are saved.

What Makes Prevention Training Different

What Makes Prevention Training Different

Most active shooter training teaches people what to do after the shooting starts. Chris Grollnek’s training builds the prevention infrastructure that stops it from starting. The PRO Model™ was selected by the U.S. Department of Justice as “A” national standard for active shooter prevention training in 2022 and again in 2026 through 2028, the only organization selected twice. Prevention outcomes documented across multiple organizational environments.

The goal is simple, move your organization towards:

Destination #NEVERHERE

Destination #NEVERHERE

Active Shooter Prevention Training & Consulting

  • The Prevention Case: Why prevention always beats response, and why the organizations that have already built prevention infrastructure are the ones with documented outcomes rather than documented incidents. The foundational argument every leader needs to hear before anything else is built.

  • Behavioral Warning Signs: How to recognize the indicators that precede active shooter events. The warning signs are almost always present before an incident occurs. The question is whether anyone in the organization knows how to see them, and what to do next when they do.

  • Anonymous Reporting Culture: Building the environment where people report what they see before it escalates. The single most underdeveloped prevention capability in most organizations, and the most important. People know more than they report. This training changes that.

  • The PRO Model™ Framework: Prevention. Response. Options. In that order. How to apply the national standard to your specific environment, population, and risk profile. Practical. Sustainable. The only framework selected by the DOJ twice.

The P.R.O. Model™ Framework

The P.R.O. Model™ Framework

BE PREPARED TO LEAD

The P.R.O. Model™ is the framework behind Chris Grollnek’s prevention-first approach. It helps organizations think beyond reaction and build layered preparedness.

This approach has been trusted by government agencies and organizations responsible for large-scale safety planning.

Prevention & Response

Most active shooter training focuses on what to do during an incident. That’s important, but it’s only part of the solution. A prevention-first approach expands your ability to act before a crisis begins while still preparing your team to respond when needed.

Prevention gives you time. Response uses it.

Prevention gives you time. Response uses it.

Response-Focused Training
  • Reactive
  • Focused on the moment of crisis
  • Limited time to act
  • Built around survival strategies
Prevention-First Approach
  • Proactive
  • Focused on early warning signs
  • Expands time to intervene
  • Built around risk reduction and readiness

Chris Grollnek is not just a trainer. He is a nationally recognized active shooter prevention expert, a media voice, and the creator of the P.R.O. Model™, a proven framework that helps organizations move from reactive thinking to a prevention-first approach.

With more than three decades of experience spanning the military, law enforcement, and private sector, Chris brings real-world insight into how violence develops, how it can be prevented, and how organizations can prepare effectively. He has been hand-selected by the Department of Justice to help shape training standards and is trusted by organizations, agencies, and leadership teams nationwide.

What sets Chris apart is his ability to translate complex, high-stakes situations into clear, actionable strategies. His training is engaging, participation-driven, and designed to empower teams with confidence, not fear, so they can act decisively when it matters most.

Organizations that work with Chris are not just checking a box. They are building a structured, prevention-first system designed to reduce risk and move toward Destination #NEVERHERE™.

Prevention was never meant to be a privilege reserved for organizations with the largest budgets. Every school, every hospital, every house of worship, every workplace deserves the same standard and the same access to training that actually prevents incidents rather than just surviving them. That is not a pricing philosophy. It is the whole point.
