Our Services
Tactical Threat Solutions offers a diverse range of services that cover every aspect of emergency preparedness, threat assessment, and safety training. Our goal is to equip organizations with the knowledge, tools, and skills necessary to mitigate risks and respond effectively in the event of an emergency.
Here’s an overview of the key services we provide:
- Threat Assessment and Planning: We work with your organization to identify potential security vulnerabilities and develop strategic plans to mitigate risks. Our threat assessments are comprehensive and tailored to the unique needs of your facility. We ensure that all safety measures align with the latest industry standards and regulatory requirements, such as Act 44, 55, and 71 compliance for educational institutions.
- Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Review: A robust Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is the backbone of any organization’s safety strategy. We help organizations review and refine their EOPs, ensuring they are actionable, compliant, and effective in reducing the impact of emergencies.
- Active Shooter and Threat Response Training: One of the most pressing concerns today is the threat of an active shooter event. Our team offers specialized training in programs like “Run, Hide, Fight” and ALICE training (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate). These programs empower employees, students, and staff to respond confidently and effectively in high-stress, life-threatening situations.
- Rescue Task Force Training: We offer training designed for first responders and key personnel who may be required to enter dangerous areas to provide critical care during a mass casualty event. This training includes coordination between law enforcement, fire departments, and EMS for rapid, effective emergency responses.
- CPR/First Aid/AED/Narcan Training: Life-saving skills are essential in emergencies, and we provide certification courses in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Narcan administration. These trainings can be a critical component of an organization’s broader emergency preparedness strategy.
- Facility Safety Assessment: Our safety consultants work directly with your organization to conduct in-depth facility safety assessments. We review your physical security, emergency equipment, and response protocols to identify areas of improvement and recommend tailored solutions.
- Fire Safety and Emergency Management Training: Fire safety is another core aspect of our services. We help organizations develop and implement fire safety plans, train staff on fire prevention and response, and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
