Training
Active Threat
Active Threat prevention and response training provides valuable information about the characteristics, prevention tools, and response techniques that may be used before and during an active threat situation.
We now offer a brand new in-person active threat training series comprised of four unique modules. Module 1 and 2 can be taken as stand-alone courses, but both are pre-requisites for those wishing to take Modules 3 and 4.
Module 1: Basic Active Threat Presentation
Duration: 90 minutes
Participants: 5-200+
This course provides general guidance to USF community members on prevention, protection, and response to an active threat situation.
This is the same as the active threat presentation we have previously offered. Departments who have taken this course within the past 18 months will NOT have to retake it to qualify for Modules 2-4.
Module 2: Stop the Bleed training
Duration: 75-90 minutes
Participants: 5-30
is a national certification program that teaches participants to recognize life-threatening bleeding, act quickly and effectively to control bleeding, and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency occurs.
Course participants will learn how to use every element found in a stop the bleed kit, both on other particpants and on themselves, during interactive scenarios.
module 3: shelter in place drill
Duration: 60-120 minutes
Participants: 5-50
This module provides campus departments and organizations the opportunity to test and evaluate their ability to shelter in place in response to an active threat situation. The course focuses on physical protective measures, community resilience and risk reduction while building on previous training modules.
Instructors certified in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) will provide a safety walkthrough of the building/individual workspaces to
