In an armed intruder/active shooter situation... being trained saves lives!
An active shooter or armed intruder situation is something few of us have prepared for. And it’s that lack of preparation that raises anxiety…and fear. Training increases our ability to take appropriate action. It gives us a greater sense of preparedness, which will help with anxiety and stress levels - especially during a shooter situation.

The 3-OUT Approach
PREVAIL! ™ teaches a very simple active shooter - workplace violence - armed intruder response plan that is easy to remember. We call it the “3-OUT Approach.” This is a system of principles that can be applied at virtually any location. It will provide trainees with the best responses in a given situation. The 3-OUT Approach focuses on using gross motor skills (not fine motor skills which quickly leave us in a stressful situation) and recall in order to prevail during these types of events. The 3-OUT Approach is:
LOCK OUT |
GET OUT |
TAKE OUT |
Can I lock this space down and/or barricade it to prevent or delay entry to me? |
Can I get out or away from the area of the shooter-armed intruder? |
You have no other option but to fight at this point and try to direct others around you to do the same. |
These 3-OUT Approach is not a linear response! Your location - in relation to the threat - will determine which OUT action is appropriate based on:
- your environment
- the location of the threat
- and what resources you have at your disposal
How Can PREVAIL! be Used in Your Organization?
PREVAIL! - Training Saves Lives!
|
PREVAIL! was designed in easy-to-use modules. Organizations using PREVAIL! have several implementation paths - including 1, 2 and 4 hour training options.
Typically, each training session starts with PREVAIL!. This 14-minute dramatic video sets the stage for the session by engaging participants quickly - emotionally - by watching an active shooter event unfold in their workplace. Next, Preparing to PREVAIL!™ (9 minutes) level sets the session by discussing key points in an active shooter event. PREVAIL!: The OUT Actions™ (15 minutes) goes into detail about the 3-OUT Approach. The program then discusses the psychology of the intruder/shooter in PREVAIL!: Understanding the Adversary™ (9 minutes). There is also a manager program - Leading to PREVAIL!™ (15 minutes) - to inform and encourage managers to discuss potential scenarios and options within their teams – as well as a powerful meeting opener - Prevailing Is...™ (3 minutes) - to kick off each session. |
The Bottom Line...
Being prepared… that’s what can dramatically change your chance of prevailing during a armed intruder/active shooting event. Why? Because the attacker is NOT counting on you being ready to act!
Being prepared begins with…accepting the reality that today’s world demands us to be ready for the unexpected. AND… changing the way YOU see your environment.
