Did you know?

When an active shooter opens fire, on average, nearly a dozen people are injured and at least three lose their lives. Being prepared is the single best tool for survival-for you and your employees.

If an unstable employee, ex-employee, or an employee's family member entered your workplace with a weapon, would you and your staff know how to respond? Safety managers, HR professionals, risk officers, and employees need to be empowered to answer "YES" to this question.

While no one wants to imagine an active shooter in their workplace, these tragedies are alive and increasing. The San Bernardino Inland Regional Center attack is a sobering reminder: an employee left a holiday party, returned, and killed 14 while injuring 17 others.

Employers can no longer believe "it won't happen here." Proactive training is critical. MPS can empower your employees with the skills to respond, mitigate their risk and save lives.

10 Minutes to Live: Surviving an Active Shooter Using A.L.I.V.E

Julian's survival guide provides actionable tools to prepare for and respond effectively in an active shooter crisis. Preparing with a security mindset and fighting through fear empowers smarter, calmer action in the face of danger.

ALIVE Testimonials

What others are saying about internationally recognized survival trainer Michael Julian's Active Shooter Survival Training Program:

"The ALIVE training was impactful. It really demonstrated how vulnerable we can be if we are not prepared. I am more confident than ever that we made the right choice in selecting Michael Julian for the ALIVE Active Shooter Survival Training. The knowledge we gained is priceless."

Sandra Martinez
Sr. HR Generalist
West Pak Avocado, Inc.

"It's a topic I don't like to think about but it's becoming more and more common in this crazy world. It's important for me to know how to help myself or others around me in the case of an active shooter situation. Michael Julian's ALIVE training was very eye opening. He gave me the tools to keep me more aware of my surroundings, reading body language and what reaction techniques I can use. Nobody really knows how they will react at that horrific time but I am definitely more prepared on whatever decision I choose to make and there is only three-"Run, Hide or Fight". Thank you Michael Julian & MPS Security and Protection staff. You are making the world a better place!"

"I just read Michael Julian, CPI PPS CSP's book "10 Minutes To Live". This book is well written, well researched, cited and yet easy to read and comprehend. It isn't a stale scholastic book on concept. It is an educational, read and apply now manual for thinking through and surviving an active shooter event. His approach goes beyond the accepted "Run, Hide, Fight" and walks the reader through a mindset approach to surviving mass killing events... Well done!"
