Cali Combat Systems is presenting Active Shooter Response Tactics (ASRT) Preparedness Seminars in the San Diego local area and globally. Our workshops are based on Active Shooter Accredited Certifications from renowned organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, Israeli Krav Maga Experts, and top Gun & Active Shooter/Mass Casualty Experts. The program seamlessly integrates principles from Israeli Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do-Kali/Rapid Assault Tactics, Grappling for the Street (Gun/Knife Grappling), Hostage Situations, and Anti-Terrorism Scenario Defenses.
Everyone has a role in preventing and preparing for potential active shooter situations. This course is designed to provide guidance to individuals, managers, and employees, enabling them to respond effectively in an active shooter situation. Developed with the expertise of national law enforcement subject matter experts, the course is suitable for various settings—be it at work, at home, or in school. Participants will gain insights into mitigating the impacts of an active shooter incident and learn how to formulate an initial organizational emergency action plan focused on such incidents.

Active shooter incidents have revealed some harsh realities, as reported by EMS1.com:
Despite advice to Run, Hide, Fight, victims often have little to no options to run or hide
The shooter typically does not cease killing until met with force.
The longer it takes to engage the shooter, the more casualties occur.
Many people are shot and killed before the police arrive, even with a rapid response.
Don't be a victim. We advocate for a proactive, citizen-based approach to mass shootings, akin to the training and equipment used for other emergency situations. Emergency responders may not arrive fast enough to prevent mass fatalities. The citizen's response becomes crucial due to the factor of time. Citizens under attack need to neutralize the attacker and provide initial severe bleeding control to victims. Our training focuses on empowering civilians with the necessary skills to take decisive and effective action.
Understanding the Effectiveness of an Unarmed Civilian Response:
In 21 incidents (13.1%), unarmed citizens successfully restrained the shooter.
46% of events conclude when citizens or police apply force.
Victims resolved two and a half times more incidents than the police.
Citizen response is statistically more common and effective in stopping armed persons due to proximity.
An unarmed person stopping an armed person is more frequent than another person with a gun.
Incorporating these statistics, we stress the importance of a well-trained and prepared response, especially in Active Shooter, Mass Casualty, and Homegrown Terrorist scenarios, considering Crowd Dynamics and Active Shooter situations.
Law enforcement is a critical field, and even security guards face risks beyond those encountered by normal citizens. This training equips individuals with tactics to understand and respond to unforeseen threats. While we do not encourage becoming a vigilante, decisive, aggressive direct action can mitigate loss of life. Proper risk assessment, ensuring personal safety and that of loved ones, and a safety game plan are essential aspects of the training.
An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, often using firearms without a discernible pattern in the selection of victims. These situations are unpredictable and evolve rapidly.
The threat of indiscriminate gun violence persists, and active shooter preparedness training efforts continue to intensify. The goal is to equip people with the latest life-saving preparedness training, ultimately reducing the body count.
