Active Shooter Threat Recognition (ASTR)
FBI research reveals that close to 100% of Active Shooter Incidents in the workplace are perpetrated by former or current employees. An NYPD study echoed this conclusion and stressed the importance of prevention, urging employers to encourage prompt reporting of potentially violent employees. A study by the US Secret Service went further and identified a number of actions, behaviors, personality traits, stressors and triggers exhibited by Active Shooters and other violent persons. GSG has used this combined data as well as materials from other law enforcement sources to develop a comprehensive program designed to help employers prevent acts of violence by teaching them to recognize risk factors and other warning signs common to violent actors. GSG has created a comprehensive 50 (+) point Threat Assessment Checklist to help supervisors, managers and HR personnel in this process.
The training program includes:
Behaviors Associated with Violence

When to Use of Private Security
Our Active Shooter training programs have been recognized as the best program of its kind. Recently the head of security for a well-known international firm, a veteran of over thirty years of federal law enforcement service, told an audience that he had attended numerous Active Shooter training programs both during his time as a federal agent and in the private sector and that GSG’s ASRT was the best he had ever attended. In addition, the head of training for a major New York City governmental agency recently advised GSG that a review of nearly 500 evaluation forms filled out by their employees who had attended our ASRT program had been completed and revealed that no training program or instructor had ever received reviews as uniformly positive as the program presented to their employees by GSG. That is the level of service we pledge to bring to all our clients.
