It all started…

In the fall of 2013, working as a uniform police officer, a terrifying realization was made. Active shooter attacks showed to be increasing in frequency all across the country. While responding to schools for various calls for service it became very clear active shooter situations were becoming a great concern to school administrators. Wanting to expand his own knowledge and develop his own plan of response, the founder and owner of Priority Response Solutions began visiting schools throughout the city. Speaking with administrators and taking tours of each campus, to learn about security features and emergency response protocols. He found most all schools were specifically designed to protect students and staff from natural disasters and intruders. He found when schools enter a lock-down, most all schools within the city were nearly impenetrable. This ability to quickly secure an entire campus from would be attackers brought him comfort, and at the same time concern.

The ability to secure a large facility within in seconds is a double edge sword. The same security features which will prevent an intruder from moving throughout a facility, are the same obstacles which will prevent law enforcement from entering the same location to stop a threat and/or render medical aid.

To overcome these obstacles, insight was obtained by thoroughly examining law enforcement response protocols to active shooter/threat and mass casualty incidences. Through this examination a number of issues were realized and then solutions were developed. The answer is never one sided. Although it is the job and the responsibility of law enforcement to protect the community, the community must also be willing to take part in their own safety. Law Enforcement will almost always be reactive to quickly evolving situations, with a delayed response. When seconds matter most for survival, quick and immediate actions are necessary to increase survivability.

Priority Response Solutions is dedicated to finding real solutions to improve law enforcement response, and to build confidence in community members.

As these tragic attacks continue to occur, Priority Response Solutions will continue working to shift the scales of power and control for improved community safety.
